Online Travel Vietnam: The Vietnam National Institute for Social Sciences and Quang Ngai Province’s culture department Wednesday announced they have discovered traces of an ancient village temple dating back to the end of the 18th century at Tra Bong District.

After 2 months excavating, archaeologists from the Institute found several terracotta and ceramic dishes and bowls and Chinese yin-yang roof tiles.

Experts said the temple was around 168 square meters large.

According to Dr. Nguyen Tien Dong from the Vietnam Institute of Archaeology, the existence of Chinese and Vietnamese ceramics is proof of developed trading activities at the area in the 18th - 19th centuries.

Last month, ten jar tombs belonging to the Sa Huynh Culture dating back to 3,000 years ago were also discovered in Quang Ngai.
