We think that the golden jewelry and the broken pieces of pottery came from the Empress Place. This is evident in the artefacts which show us that the jewelry was made of gold and the piece of pottery was made of good quality. Gold is expensive and good pottery is expensive too therefore only rich people could afford it. This tells us that Singapore was hierarchical.]]> 2020-02-13 04:00:41 UTC https://padlet.com/vdran/8dtcm31rek8l/wish/444803164 https://padlet.com/vdran/8dtcm31rek8l/wish/444806371 This is evident in the source that only people of high rankings could afford pottery with such intricate carvings etched into the sides which are expensive. Therefore only people of high status could afford it.]]> 2020-02-13 04:13:44 UTC https://padlet.com/vdran/8dtcm31rek8l/wish/444806371 https://padlet.com/vdran/8dtcm31rek8l/wish/444807382 We can infer that the early Singapore had good trading connections. The source shows us that the Chinese coins were found in the early Singapore and were used to purchase goods and trade.
This tells us that Singapore had good trading skills 

Empress Place
We can infer that the people in early Singapore had skilled hands. The piece of pottery had very detailed designs and was able to last for so Long. This tell us that the people in early Singapore were good in pottery.

The evidence was that Chinese coins were found at the Singapore river which was a trading port at that time so I can conclude that the Chinese were trading in Singapore with Chinese currency.

The bowl that we found was found at Fort Canning

This is evident in the source that they used coins in the form of trading in the past instead of barter. Thus Singapore was a morden and advanced trading port.                     I can infer that the ceramic pots in early Singapore were very pretty and designedly. This is evident in the source as the ceramic pot was beautifully done except that it is broken. Thus I can conclude that the people in early Singapore were skilled potters.                                          ]]> 2020-02-13 04:25:14 UTC https://padlet.com/vdran/8dtcm31rek8l/wish/444809113 https://padlet.com/vdran/8dtcm31rek8l/wish/444809286 Ceramic bowl- I can infer that Singapore had some influence from China. The pottery bowl was probably made from China because of the bamboo designs. From this inference I can tell that Singapore could have traded with China thus telling us how we might have gotten this pottery bowl.

Ceramic shard- I can infer that the shard was not as valuable as the porcelain bowl as the shard has a rougher glaze finish as compared to the bowl that had a smoother finish. From this I can conclude that the shard was part of an object that was used by someone who was of a lower class.

This is evident in the source as only some people can offord the ceramic bowls. Thus there was a hierarchical society in the past]]> 2020-02-13 04:27:29 UTC https://padlet.com/vdran/8dtcm31rek8l/wish/444809548 https://padlet.com/vdran/8dtcm31rek8l/wish/444886967 Based on the archaeological artefacts that we have found, coins with Chinese characters on them, I can infer that Singapore before 1819 was already quite advanced in trading. This is evident in the sources which are coins from that period. This tells me that people were already trading with currency, a more advanced form of trading. Based on this source, I can also infer that people from other parts of the world were already visiting and trading in Singapore before 1819. This is evident as the coins have Chinese characters on them. This tells me that people from China were already visiting Singapore to trade before 1819. We believe that the artefacts were found at the Singapore River (Empress Place) as, in the past, people usually lived at the riverbank of the river or the natives, the 'orang laut', lived in houseboats on the river. Thus, it is likely that people trade there, as the number of people there is greater and people from places outside Singapore usually arrive by boat as it is almost the only way to travel to Singapore, so they will dock at the bank of the river and trade their goods.

Based on the archaeological artefact that we have found, a ceramic bowl, I can infer that the people who lived in Singapore before 1819 were good craftsmen. This is evident as the bowl has intricate designs on it, and is well made as it has lasted until today without breaking apart. This tells me that the people in early Singapore were good at making pottery and were good craftsmen.
Based on this source, I can also infer that the people who made the bowl were probably influenced by Chinese pottery. This is evident as the bowl is shaped like a Chinese porcelain bowl and it is jade in colour. This tells me that Chinese people were probably living in Singapore at that time and were either the ones making and trading pottery or influencing the people in Singapore with their culture. We believe that the bowl was found in Fort Canning as it is likely that people lived in Fort Canning and used the bowl for various purposes in their daily lives.
