At the time of the meeting local people incessantly debated such questions as whether the Shihtunkeng Ruins were genuinely important, whether they should excavate right away or whether they should temporarily put off excavation and first work to protect the site. Which local administrative unit should oversee and manage the ruins?
當時地方人士在會上不停地爭論，若石墩坑遺址果真重要，那此後要不要挖掘？若是暫且不挖掘，先加以保護，應由哪個地方主管單位監督、管理？
