Historical Context

About

Xuân La is an archaeological site in Tây Hồ District of Hanoi, near ancient Hà Đông in the Red River Delta in northern Vietnam. Excavations there yielded a number of coffins containing relics of the Bronze Age Đông Sơn culture. Xuan La is located only a short distance of 10 km from Châu Can, both formerly in Hà Tây Province. The seven coffins excavated at the site were uncovered in 1982 and show a basic level of similarity to those at Chau Can, but with some difficulties, according to a report by Vietnamese archaeologists Pham Quoc Quan and Trinh Can.
