Entrance of New Taipei City Archaeology Park: in Front of the Anthropomorphic Jar
The signboard saying “The New Taipei City Archaeology Park” at the entrance was written by academician Cheng-hwa Tsang, an archaeologist who participated in the rescue and excavation of the Shihsanhang site.
The bamboo forest imagery in the entrance area is inspired by the fact that the people of Shihsanhang grew bamboo to build houses. Besides using bamboo as the material for houses, it also shielded and protected the people from invaders and wild animals. The visual imagery is based on the Anthropomorphic Jar, the pièce de résistance of the museum, as well as the carved pottery jar, an important cultural relic of Shihsanhang Culture, to highlight its characteristics.
入口處「新北考古公園」立牌是由當時參與十三行遺址搶救發掘的考古學家臧振華院士所題寫。
入口區的竹林意象是由「十三行人先種竹再造屋」來發想。十三行人種植竹子，除了能夠提供造屋的原料外，也具有掩蔽、防衛的功能，減少入侵者及野生動物的侵擾。視覺意象則以鎮館之寶-人面陶罐作為主視覺，搭配十三行重要文物-雕花陶罐，展現十三行文化特色。
