Join NHB’s Archaeology Advisory Panel members Professor Derek Heng and Ms Susanna Siu in a discussion moderated by Mr Kwa Chong Guan (President, SEACS) as they explore how archaeology reveals hidden stories beneath our cities — from everyday objects in 14th-century Temasek to heritage management in modern Hong Kong. Discover how two major Asian port cities balance progress and preservation, and what their experiences tell us about archaeology’s role in shaping public history today. Thursday, 20 November, 7-8:30 pm at ArCH Square, 125 Jalan Sultan (a shophouse — where the shards recovered by J. Miksic as well as the shipwreck finds recovered by Michael Flecker — will be brought for volunteers to clear and classify).
