During an archaeological excavation in Đắk Nông, the archaeological team uncovered numerous artifacts that are remnants of prehistoric humans, dating back thousands of years.
The excavation site at Village 7, Dak Drô Commune (Krông Nô District) was discovered by the geological survey team led by Dr. La The Phuc (Vietnam Archaeology Association) in 2022.
Here, the team uncovered quartz stone artifacts that exhibit many similarities to those from the Stone Age and are widely distributed.
Following these discoveries, the Vietnam Archaeology Association submitted a report to the People’s Committee of Đắk Nông Province proposing research and excavation measures for this site.
Recently, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism approved the Đắk Nông Provincial Museum to collaborate with the Central Highlands Institute of Social Sciences for archaeological excavation at this site.
The excavation area is 26m2, with the excavation taking place from March 1-26.
Mr. Duc shared that after many days of excavation, the team discovered numerous prehistoric artifacts.
“Based on the artifacts, it can be concluded that this is a typical site representing a phase of prehistoric development in the Central Highlands,” Mr. Duc stated.
At the excavation site, the archaeological team worked meticulously, with each area and artifact bag being marked in detail.
Members of the archaeological team marked and photographed the locations of artifact discoveries.
Expert Luong Thi Tuat participated in the excavation of the site.
According to Dr. La The Phuc, based on the discovered artifacts, this site may be the oldest archaeological site in Đắk Nông Province.
After searching and sorting, the archaeological team proceeded to clean and restore the artifacts.
