Dong Thot Cave archaeological site
Dong Thot Cave Archaeological Site – Traces of Hoa Binh Culture. Located on a limestone massif in Thanh Ha commune, Phu Tho province, Dong Thot Cave is an archaeological site of special value in the study of Hoa Binh Culture. The cave has a wide, high, and airy entrance, facing a relatively flat valley, favorable for prehistoric inhabitants to live in. Surveys and excavations at Dong Thot Cave have uncovered a fairly thick cultural layer, in some places up to 4.5 meters, containing many freshwater clam and snail shells along with traces of prehistoric life. In particular, hundreds of stone tools were found here, mostly made from pebbles using the characteristic chipping and shaping techniques of Hoa Binh Culture. Among them are almond-shaped tools, disc-shaped tools, and many chipped fragments. These discovered artifacts help archaeologists better visualize the life, methods of earning a living, and tool-making techniques of prehistoric inhabitants. The thick layer of clam and snail shells in the cultural strata also indicates an important food source for the people who once inhabited the cave. With its outstanding scientific and historical value, Dong Thot Cave was classified as a national archaeological site in 2003. Today, the site is a valuable source of information contributing to clarifying the history of prehistoric human habitation and the rich values of the Hoa Binh Culture.
