The definition of sites of cultural heritage is shown in Schedule 1 of the
Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance. They generally cover
archaeological sites and structures, historical buildings, paleontological
sites and other cultural heritage features in a wide variety of forms (e.g.
old street furniture, lime kilns, graves, trackways, salt-pans, etc.).
Relics fashioned before 1800 (and discovered after 1976) belong to the
Government under the Antiquities and Monuments Ordinance. The
excavation and search for such relics require a license from the
Authority.
