Answer 2

The historians  can conclude the following about the civilization in ancient Hong Kong-

• Since it has been inhabited since the Stone Age, Hong Kong was included in Imperial China about the 2nd century BC, and for the following 2,000 years, its history was identical to that of the mainland.
• Initially, the economy of Hong Kong was based on fishing, pearl farming, and salt manufacturing, but over time, the coastline region developed into a significant free port engaged in trade with the British Empire.
• With the conquest of the Baiyue and the establishment of the Jiaozhou province by Qin Shi Huang, the history of the southern region is thought to have been first recorded in 214 BC.
• Stone Age and Bronze Age are two divisions of the prehistoric era.
• The Wong Tei Tung region may have been the site of the earliest human settlement as early as 38,000 BC, according to archaeological data.
• At Wong Tei Tung in Sham Chung near Three Fathoms Cove on the Sai Kung Peninsula, archaeological remains from an Upper Paleolithic habitation in Hong Kong were discovered.
• The Hong Kong Archaeological Society and the Centre for Lingnan Archaeology of Zhongshan University mutually confirmed the discovery of 6000 artefacts on a slope in the region.
• The area around Tolo Harbour and Mirs Bay is said to have been a river valley during that time, where ancient humans acquired stone tools from the Wong Tei Tung lithic production site.
• Neolithic artefacts discovered during excavations imply a distinction between the Longshan and other northern Chinese Stone-Age societies.
• The majority of Hong Kong's excavated sites are on its western coasts. The most plausible reasons for choosing this location were to avoid the southeast winds and to gather food from the adjacent coastlines. Cheung Chau, Lantau Island, and Lamma Island are all populated.
• On the Hong Kong Island, Chung Hom Kok provided evidence of fire use. Their settlement stretches from the coastlines to the neighbouring highlands in the late Neolithic.
• In Fan Lau and other locations in Hong Kong, stone circles have been discovered.
