Prehistoric traces discovered in Ha Giang
Traces of prehistoric people which belong to the
Hoa Binh - Bac Son culture, dating back some 6,000-7,000 years, have been found
at Khuoi Nang cave, Thuong Tan Commune, Bac Me District in the northern
mountainous province of Ha Giang.
During an excavation early November, experts from the Vietnam Institute of
Archaeology and Ha Giang provincial museum discovered two ancient tombs. Bones
and teeth found there reveal that the tombs buried an adult and a child with a
layer of pieces of stone under their bodies.
Hundreds of ancient objects, especially stone tools such as axe, hoe and knife,
along with a special mineral which was used to decorate the body of the death,
have also been discovered at the site.
According to Dr. Trinh Nang Chung, head of the excavation team, Khuoi Nang cave
is home to many generations of prehistoric people. Further research of the site
is underway.
