Nghe an: Archaeologists have uncovered two brick tombs dating from the 4th to 6th centuries during an emergency excavation at the Ru But archaeological site in Kim Lien commune, Nghe An province. The discovery includes a significant collection of burial objects, offering a glimpse into ancient customs and craftsmanship.

According to Vietnam News Agency, the excavation revealed a variety of artefacts such as ceramic and glazed terra-cotta jars, cups, bowls, pots, and bottles. Additionally, the site yielded Wuzhu coins, iron knives, blades, swords, bronze objects, glass beads, and gold-coloured metal beads alongside leaf-shaped objects. Of particular interest is the second tomb, found more than two metres below the first, which remains relatively intact. This provides archaeologists with crucial evidence regarding the arrangement of burial objects in ancient tombs.

The findings at Ru But are expected to contribute significantly to the understanding of historical burial practices and the cultural significance of the artefacts discovered. The well-preserved nature of the second tomb offers an unprecedented opportunity for researchers to study the layout and placement of objects within these ancient resting places.
