Historical records indicate that the ethnic Bai Yue people had already settled in South China in the Bronze Age, and it is thought that the artefacts from this period unearthed in Tuen Mun and other areas were left by the Bai Yue tribes. Items collected by academics in So Kwun Wat as early as the 1920s were typical relics of the Bronze Age and included pottery sherds with double-F patterns, stone adzes and stone ring cores. Archaeological finds in recent years, such as bronze arrowheads and a bronze knife unearthed in Lung Kwu Tan, double-F pottery sherds, hard pottery sherds with geometric patterns and stone knives uncovered in Lung Kwu Sheung Tan as well as stone spearheads found in So Kwun Wat, have all provided evidence that prehistoric people settled in Tuen Mun and its environs during the Bronze Age.
