An amazing mass of archaeological data which will enable the public to reinterpret the everyday life and achievements of the early inhabitants of Hong Kong will also be put on display.
Entitled "Rescuing Our Archaeological Past - Major Discoveries Since 1989", the event coincides with the launching of the five-day Conference on Archaeology in Southeast Asia, organised by the University of Hong Kong's Museum and Art Gallery with the assistance of AMO.
The Chairman of the Antiquities Advisory Board, Mr David Lung, will open the exhibition. The Secretary for Recreation and Culture, Mr James So, will present certificates of merit to six local organisations in recognition of their help in the preservation of antiquities and monuments.
They are the Provisional Airport Authority, Sun Hung Kai Real Estate Agency Ltd, the Land Development Corporation, China Light and Power Co Ltd, Proper Trip Development Ltd and Cheuk Fan Enterprise Ltd.
The exhibition will be open to the public during office hours until the end of July.
