The objects made in the Dinh (968-980), Ly (1009-1225), Tran (1225-1400) and Le (1418-1789) dynasties include square floor tiles with lotus and phoenix patterns, bowls, dishes, jars and other pottery items. They were found after archeologists excavated an area of over 500 sq. metres at the relic site.

The archeologists said they would continue their excavation in the coming time to find the remains of the ancient capital.

The excavation project is jointly carried out by the Ninh Binh Department of Culture, Tourism and Sports and the Vietnam Museum of History./.
