New discoveries at Cau Tu temple in Bac Giang province
On December 4th, the Institute of Archaeology under the Vietnam Institute of Social Sciences cooperated with the northern Bac Giang provincial Department of Culture and Information to announce the results of archaeological excavation at Cau Tu temple in Phuong Son commune, Luc Ngan district, Bac Giang province.
The excavation started in June, 2007 at two sites, including Cau Tu 1 and Cau Tu 2 temples. The two sites are about 300m apart as the crow flies. Archaeologists determined that there was a large residencial building in the Ly dynasty, from the 12th century at both sites.
Le Dinh Phung, PhD, head of the department for historical archaeological studies under the Institute of Archaeology, said that this land had a family of three generations that worked for the Ly dynasty so they had a close relationship with a cultural centre of the nation in the Ly dynasty.
Excavated relics show that this was also the cultural and political center of a community of population in ancient times.
