Several Dong Son artefacts unearthed in Lao Cai
Update: Jul 09, 2009
Several artefacts from the Dong Son culture, which existed about 2,000-2,500 years ago, have been unearthed in Bao Yen District - in the mountainous province of Lao Cai - since April this year.

Among the objects, four stone axes were from the Dong Son civilization, according to the museum’s director Do Chung.

Decorated roof tiles, unearthed in the Nghi Lang ancient citadel area in Pho Rang Town, were from the Le-Mac Dynasty in the 17th -18th century.

The antiques were discovered by local residents during site clearance for the construction of houses and other projects.

They are now on display at the provincial museum.
