An archaeological dig has been unearthed wonders at the former battlefield with the French colonialists, Dien Bien Phu, Lai Chau Province, adding more value to this well-known historical site.
A group of specialists of the National Social Science and Humanity Centre unearthed a horde of objects in an area known as Gai Ma choi (ghost girls) in U Va commune, Dien Bien district. The haul includes ceramic items with strange decorative patterns, sapphire china fragments, burnt paddy, terra-cotta jars, iron ploughshares, and stakes.
The objects reflect an early presence of residents at U Va, who lived through different historical periods and possibly experienced wide trade exchanges with the outside world, the specialists said. They added that the burnt paddy was valuable for the study of wild rice strains discovered in Viet Nam as well as in other regional countries.
