Archaeologists find 2,500-year-old relics in Khanh Hoa by Andy B on Sunday, 03 January 2010


Archaeologists have found a large cache of 2,000-2,500-year-old artifacts thought to belong to the Sa Huynh Culture in the central province of Khanh Hoa.

They unearthed more than 2,000 stone items, including axes, adzes, and jewelry, 24 metal items, 190 pottery shards, and six tombs in a 2,000-squaremeter area at the Vinh Yen archaeological site.

Some quartz lingams – the Hindu phallic symbol representing Lord Shiva – have also been discovered at the second archaeological dig done at the site in October.

Earlier, in August 2008, the first dig had unearthed 3,000-year-old artifacts, including 10 ceramic and rock structures, eight tombs and more than 400 stone, copper, and terracotta items.
