Strong evidence has, for the first time, been discovered suggesting that
Vietnamese tombs in the central province of Thanh Hoa date from the
early to late period of the Da But civilisation (6,500 – 4,700 BC).
According to PhD Trinh Hoang Hiep from the Vietnam Institute of
Archaeology, who has worked to uncover the secrets of the province’s Con
Co Ngua relic site, unearthed tombstones and grave offerings have shed
light on a little-known period in the history of the land.
The
presence of pottery and stone items, along with the position of
uncovered remains, offers valuable information about the Neolithic Era
in Vietnam and the region, he stated.
A report by the institute
published in early 2013 said experts had discovered some 70 ancient
tombs, together with bones, teeth and other evidence of animals such
as turtles, water buffalo, elk, deer, fish, scallops and oysters.
Dating back to at least 5,140 – 5,520 BC, the Con Co Ngua site – found
in Ha Linh commune, Ha Trung district – is one of the most extensive
relics left behind by the Da But civilisation in the country, alongside
ancient sites in the northern province of Ninh Binh.-VNA en.vietnamplus.vn
