    ANTH2720 Archaeology of Hong Kong (2019-20) Teacher: Dr Mick Atha Office: NAH 411 Humanities Building, New Asia College. Email: [email protected] Teaching Assistant: Nie Youping Email: TBA Lecture time: Tuesday 1:30-3:15 pm, Room NAH 11 Tutorial time: Tuesday 4:30-5:15pm, Room MMW 706 Course description One could be forgiven for thinking that little of archaeological interest survives in Hong Kong’s built-up and densely populated environment. But that could not be further from the truth. Contrary to the politically-motivated myth of ‘a barren rock’ as portrayed by the British in the 19th century, Hong Kong actually has a rich archaeological heritage spanning 6,000-7,000 years of human history. Who were the earliest inhabitants, where were they from, and what brought them to Hong Kong? This course reviews major archaeological discoveries in Hong Kong from the 1920s to the present, examines cultural developments from the Neolithic to the Qing Dynasty, and discusses the material culture, economies, social structures and (as far as is possible) the belief systems of Hong Kong’s ancient peoples. The course will also compare and contrast the evidence for prehistoric and historical cultural developments in Hong Kong with those occurring in South China and the wider Southeast Asian region. The significance of Hong Kong archaeology in the contexts of prehistoric and historical South China and Southeast Asia will also be evaluated. In addition, there will be an exploration of the tensions and potentials existing in Hong Kong between its development-driven economy and rich archaeological resource, as played out in the field of impact assessment archaeology.

    History Museums as Tourist Attractions: A Comparison of Hong Kong and Macau CHAN, Yee On Christine A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Philosophy In Anthropology February 2009 Abstract of thesis entitled: History Museums as Tourist Attractions: A Comparison of Hong Kong and Macau Submitted by CHAN Yee On Christine for the degree of Master of Philosophy in Anthropology at The Chinese University of Hong Kong in February 2009 Abstract Within the changing economic and social conditions in today's world, should museums play a more important role to attract more tourists? This thesis investigates the factors which may influence the possibility of a history museum to become a tourist attraction, and factors which may shape the decision making process of tourists to include history museums in their itineraries, through a comparative study between the two history museums in Hong Kong and Macau. Based on data collected by observation and in-depth interviews, this thesis investigate the importance of historical and cultural context of the destination, the content of the exhibition and personal background in determining the potential of history museums to become tourist attractions, government policies in the two cities, as well as the managerial strategies of the two museums. This study illustrates that different cultural contexts in different cities, including the economic structures, the importance and the content of tourism, as well as government's policies on the mission of history museums, all play vital roles on whether history museums can attract more tourists. While a city with better preserved cultural heritage provides a tangible setting for the construction of the city's "historical" image, thus cultivating tourists' interests to history museums, government's vision and policy of cities are also vital in nourishing the potential of history museums to become tourist attraction.
