Vestiges left by prehistoric men from the late Palaeolithic Age have been discovered at the Sua Can Ty archaeological site in Sua Can Ty hamlet, Can Ty commune, Quan Ba district, the northern mountainous province of Ha Giang.
They include nearly 200 relics, mostly work tools made from stone.
PhD Nguyen Truong Dong from the Vietnam Institute of Archaeology said that the tools’ form is typical of the Son Vi civilisation (20,000 – 12,000 BC) in the late Palaeolithic Age in Vietnam.
Research shows that prehistoric men used to reside at the Sua Can Ty site, he added.
The early October excavation covered more than 100 square metres and is 1.1 metres deep.
