Archaeologists from the Quang Tri Museum and the Vietnam Institute of Archaeology have unearthed hundreds of artifacts believed to belong to the early Hoa Binh culture about 15,000-20,000 years ago at an excavation site in the central province of Quang Tri.

The findings at Hang Doi (Bat Cave) in Cam Lo District include axes and tools for chopping and grinding made from stone. The scientists also found the remains of two cooking stoves.

The excavation is still underway.
