SHIPWRECK DATA Clause Samples
SHIPWRECK DATA. Practically nothing is known about the archaeological potential of the seabed deposits in Hong Kong. The only marine archaeological discovery is that of a late Sung/early Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) boat uncovered during the construction of the High Island Reservoir, near Sai Kung (Frost, 1974). Since then, no other historic shipwreck has been found. However, this is probably because there were no dedicated marine archaeological surveys until the introduction of the 1998 EIA Ordinance. Marine archaeology is therefore a relatively new area of study in Hong Kong with very little data to draw upon. Formation of archaeological sites underwater is mainly due to shipwrecks (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, 1978). Since these are random and haphazard events it is difficult to predict their exact location if no written references survive. The aim of this review is to examine the evidence for maritime activity within the study area to predict the shipwreck potential.
