via Vietnam Net, 22 March 2022: Plans to turn the Dong Dau archaeological site into a park.
The historical and cultural values of the Dong Dau archaeological site in the northern province of Vinh Phuc will be further promoted thanks to a project to build the site into an archaeological park.
First unearthed about 60 years ago, and recognised as a national historical-cultural relic in 2000, the famous archaeological site features elements of the Dong Dau culture (1,500-1,000 BC), one of the late prehistoric Bronze Age cultures in the Red River Delta of Vietnam.
Numerous artefacts of the four cultures during the time of the Hung Kings, about 4,000 years ago, have also been found through several excavations at Dong Dau, which is known as one of the country’s largest archaeological sites covering a total area of 8.5ha in Dong Village of Yen Lac Town.
