  • ANTH2720 Archaeology of Hong Kong (2019-20)
    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.

    WKCD-322 For information MAG/13/2006 on 4 July 2006 Consultative Committee on the Core Arts and Cultural Facilities of the West Kowloon Cultural District Museums Advisory Group Operational and Financial Information on Museums under Leisure and Cultural Services Department Purpose This paper aims to inform Members operational and financial information such as number of visitors, collection items, income and expenditure of museums under the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD). Background 2. At the last meeting held on 15 May 2006, Members requested for information on the number of visitors, existing collection items and financial information of the museums under LCSD in order to facilitate the study of museums facilities in the West Kowloon Cultural District (WKCD). Detailed of these information are summarized below for Member’s reference. Page 1 Number of Visitors 3. In 2005, museums under LCSD organized a total of 118 exhibitions and attracted a record of 4 720 000 visitors. This was due to the fact that the museums had organized more exhibitions and the themes of some of these exhibitions were very popular. For examples, the “Impressionism: Treasures from the National Collection of France” staged at the Hong Kong Museum of Art from 4 February to 10 April 2005 attracted 284 263 visitors. The “Robot Zoo” staged at the Science Museum from 24 June to 25 October 2005 attracted 215 403 visitors. The “From Eastern Han to High Tang: A Journey of Transculturation” from 14 March to 10 June 2005 attracted 296 002 visitors and “The Silk Road: Treasures from Xinjiang” from 21 December 2005 to 19 March 2006 staged at the Heritage Museum attracted 144 761 visitors.
