Stone ax head artifact excavated in Bai Coi
Ladies and gentlemen!
In 1976 in Phoi Phoi, Xuan Vien, archaeologists conducted excavations and found stone and ceramic artifacts. They concluded through research that: "The Phoi Phoi archaeological site belongs to the Late Neolithic period".
The site of Bai Coi is a transitional site from Phoi Phoi, discovered at the end of 2008 and excavated in 2009, 2010, and 2012. The results of these excavations and research concluded that: "This archaeological site is unique due to having the characteristics of both the famous Dong Son and Sa Huynh cultures".
Traces of the inhabitation of ancient Vietnamese people have also been found by archaeologists and researchers at this site.
The artifacts currently on display at the Nguyen Du Museum are typical of the two aforementioned sites, such as the axe head - one of the labor tools of residents in the Late Neolithic period (excavated in 1976 at the Phoi Phoi site); Some ceramics found at Bai Coi site (excavated from 2009, 2010, and 2012) along with a collection of porcelain from the historical period of Ly, Tran, Le, and Nguyen dynasties. These artifacts are of important significance in studying Vietnamese socio-economic life in the late Neolithic period, the Bronze Age, and later historical periods.
