The Archeological Dig and Exhibition Area

The Archaeological Dig and Exhibition Area is a conserved heritage site at Fort Canning Park, Singapore (River Valley Road). The exhibition, first completed in 2001 and refreshed by NParks in 2018, includes an open archaeological dig site displaying artefacts unearthed around Fort Canning Hill, where evidence shows habitation on and off since the 14th century; finds include Chinese coins dating back to the Song Dynasty (960-1279), Malay and Thai earthenware, and Guangzhou ceramics and Jiangxi porcelain. The site points to the hill's role in a prosperous 14th-century trading settlement.
