Bronze Age (c. 1500B.C. -221B.C.)
Bronze Age archaeological remains were mainly unearthed from the
lower slope behind the Kwo Lo Wan sandbar. Nine Bronze Age burials
were discovered. The grave goods can be grouped under three major
categories: pottery, stone and bronze. There were altogether forty-nine
grave goods including coarse or geometric pottery pots, glazed pottery
stemcups; various stone implements such as adzes, spearheads, rings,
slotted rings and casting moulds; bronze artifacts like dagger and
knife etc.. Three pairs of sandstone casting moulds deserve special
attention as they demonstrated that people produced bronze implements
on Chek Lap Kok Island as early as 3,000 years ago.
