SINGAPORE - They may appear unremarkable and are each barely as long as a finger, but two pieces of 14th-century ceramics found in Fort Canning Park were among the standout finds from archaeological work done in 2018 and 2019.
The board also opened a new 350 sq m Spice Gallery in the park's Spice Garden, which tells of the history of Singapore's spice trade. He added that NParks is also planning to revamp the play areas in Jubilee Park from 2023, and that a feasibility study to have a lookout point constructed on the hilltop will be completed by year end.
These changes are traced through the five zones in the new heritage gallery, which showcases the hill's history through artefacts that were uncovered on it during archaeological studies since the 1980s. Archaeologists and historians John Miksic, Kwa Chong Guan and Goh Geok Yian were consulted on the gallery's design.
