The 19 articles in the book can be divided into four parts. The history of Hong Kong archaeology is divided into five periods, and the development course is completely reflected. The essays on the periodization and dating of the Neolithic Hong Kong culture form a large proportion of the book, and the discussions also involve the types and ecological environments of the sites and the ethnic affiliation of the population. The Bronze Age culture is discussed on the basis of pottery features and stratigraphical evidence, and the aspect of the Hong Kong archaeological culture in the Shang and Zhou period is summarized. Concerning archaeology of historic times, the book deals with the Kowloon Lizhengwu site and lime and porcelain firing kilns in the Eastern Han and Tang-Song periods, which provide convincing evidence that Hong Kong has been an integral part of the Chinese territory since antiquity.展开更多
