Vietnam: Pre-sa Huynh Culture Items Found In Da Nang

Vietnam: Pre-sa Huynh Culture Items Found In Da Nang

DA NANG (Central Vietnam), May 31 (Bernama) -- Forty-eight stone tools and thousands of ceramic pieces dating back to the pre-Sa Huynh Culture (3,000-3,500 years-old) were found during a third excavation in the garden of the Khue Bac Communal House in Da Nang City, Vietnam News Agency (VNA) reported.

Pham Van Trieu, head of the archaeological team, said at a report on the excavation Tuesday that the discovery once again strongly confirmed that the site was a unique relic of the pre-Sa Huynh Culture.

Trieu said that items found were similar to that discovered from previous excavations in 2001 and 2015.

"Research on ceramic and stone items from previous excavations clearly expose the rare, intact archaeological relic of only one layer of the Sa Huynh Culture," Trieu said.
