AMS dating from archaeological sites in Vietnam
Main Article Content
Abstract
The land of Vietnam is dotted with archaeological sites, covering a prolonged
period from palaeolithic to recent historic times. However, age determination of
many important archaeological sites is yet to be made. From 2002, with supports from
the Korea Research Foundation, the Seoul National University team» in close co
operation with their Vietnamese colleagues, started a 4-year project which attempts to accumulate more accurate chronometric information. While the primary goal of the project was to provide information for Hoabihnian sites, whose ages are only vaguely known, samples from many archaeological sites throughout Vietnam will also be collected. Thus, by the end of the year 2006, we expect to provide as many as four to five hundred AMS dates for various archaeological periods. In this report, we would like to make a summary presentation for the results so far obtained,
