Hong Kong Heritage Discovery Centre (HKHDC)
"To Dig & to Learn" Workshop

What is archaeology? How old are the finds excavated in Hong Kong? In order to enrich students' knowledge on Field Archaeology, HKHDC has specially organized this workshop. During the workshop, our tutor will introduce basic knowledge on archaeology to participants through games, mock-up excavation and surveying work. It aims to allow participants to gain knowledge in archaeologists' work, and learn how to differentiate finds through excavation. Our tutor will begin the workshop by a briefing on Archaeology and its major discoveries in Hong Kong, followed by surveying and excavation. At the end of the workshop, students will report and share their findings. Details of the workshop are as follows:
