Vestiges of primitive residents discovered in Cao Bang
July 26, 2007
VietNamNet Bridge – Archaeologists have recently discovered some vestiges of primitive people living around ten thousand years ago in the northern mountainous province of Cao Bang.
Since July 2007, the Archaeological Institute and Cao Bang Museum have worked together to investigate the limestone area in Hoa An district and found signs of primitive residents in Nguom Boc Cave in Hong Viet commune.
The investigation team unearthed tens of stone working tools and food left by primitive people about 4.2 m underground. All of these tools were made from river pebbles by rudimentary techniques.
The Nguom Boc Cave collection suggests that Nguom Boc was inhabited by primitive people living in the transition period between the Old and New Stone ages, or early Hoa Binh Culture, about 10,000 years ago.
