The exhibition was jointly organized by scholars and experts from both sides.

The burial customs of the people at Shihsanhang were unique, according to Kuo Su-chiu, "All the skeletons were buried in a fetal position: on their sides with their limbs bent. Except one, an adult female, who was buried on her front and with her head turned to one side, which is typical of the contemporaneous Fantsuyuan (番仔園) Culture of central western Taiwan."
