Cave and World Heritage Site in Thanh Hóa Province. Remains show transition from Paleolithic to Neolithic. The Con Moong archaeological site is a key for the understanding of Vietnamese and South East Asian prehistory.
It has been confirmed that the continuation of art techniques to make cobble tools with representatives from Sơn Vi culture [Palaeolithic] to Hòa Bình culture [Mesolithic,] and then Bắc Sơn culture [Neolithic (10,000-8,000 BC).] Con Moong Cave may show the evolution of human beings ... from hunting and gathering, to [plant and animal domestication.] - summation from Wikipedia.
Lies within the Cúc Phương National Park.
Note: Vietnamese archaeologists found tons of shells and tools and the remains of burials dating back more than ten thousand of year
