Sa Huynh archaeological relics were found for the first time by French archaeologist M.Vinet in 1909. This is a large area densely buried with jar graves of Sa Huynh culture residents, which dated back to over 2,000 years. The jar-shaped coffins vary in sizes and shapes such as pillar-shape or egg-shape... Some of the jars have the size of 1.8m high, 1m in diameter but most of which are under 1m high and around 0.5 - 0.6m in diameter. Inside the jars were buried many articles such as bells, bracelets, iron knives, axes, agate chains, nephrite earrings, ceramic wares like pans, bowls, vases decorated with diverse patterns.
