Archaeologists have found a stone tool workshop in Ia Mor commune, Chuprong district of Central Highland Gia Lai province, with the largest number of artefacts discovered in the central highlands so far.

Excavators from the Vietnam Institute of Archaeology (VIA) and the Gia Lai Museum unearthed more than 60 stone artefacts and thousands of ceramic relics at the site.

Archaeologists also found human bones and teeth together with stone and bone jewellery in an urn tomb at Ia Mor stream site.

This is the first time pre-historic human remains have been found in Gia Lai and the Central Highlands.

Ia Mor is the sixth excavation site in Gia Lai and the excavation work will last through October.
