Hanoi: Vietnam for the first time discovered early Paleolithic sites inside cultural layer with stone tools and tektites believed to date back 770,000-800,000 years, the Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences (VASS) said.
This is likely considered the most ancient mark ever-known on the appearance of human and their culture in Vietnam, the VASS said in Hanoi while announcing on preliminary results of archaeological study in An Khe town of Vietnam's Central Highlands Gia Lai province.
In 2015 and early 2016, archaeologists conducted excavation and examination at the sites, collecting tektite pieces and stone artefacts, including picks, choppers, scrapers, flakes, unifacial and bifacial tools, hand axes made from quartzite, quartz pebble, among others.
All the sites have single intact cultural layer with stone objects, and no sign of kitchen, tomb or human remains yet, Doi added.
