via Vietnam Plus, 12 February 2023: Ninh Binh Province has recently paid greater attention to archaeological research and promoted the management, conservation and promotion of their relics.
An ancient brick grave was unearthed while foundations were being dug for new classrooms at a primary school in Gia Thuy commune, Nho Quan district, in 2020. Scientists found a host of valuable information proving that Gia Thuy was a vibrant cultural area during the first few centuries AD. The brick grave and collected artifacts were moved to the Ninh Binh Museum for storage and display.
Archaeological research in Ninh Binh began in the 1960s and 1970s. Since then, many types of relics have been discovered, excavated, and explored. Important discoveries at Hoa Lu Ancient Capital in recent years have contributed to identifying this as a major site of special significance for Vietnam’s history and culture.
68 archaeological relics have been discovered, providing important historical and scientific data on the formation and natural and social development of Ninh Binh. Conservation work is generally conducted under two main methods: closing the relic with sandfill, which preserves the site as is, or building a roof to protect it, which is known as an on-site museum.
