Culture | Defunct
1000 BCE to 200 CE
The Sa Huynh culture is a culture in central and southern Vietnam that flourishea between 1000 BCE and CE 200.
Archaeological sites from the culture have been discovered from the Mekong Delta to just south of the Tonkin region.
The Sa Huynh people are most likely the predecessors of the Cham people, the founders of the kingdom of Champa.
The site at Sa Huynh was discovered in 1909.
Sa Huynh sites are rich in locally worked iron artifacts, typified by axes, swords, spearheads, knives and sickles.
In contrast, bronze artifacts are dominant in the Dong Son culture sites found in northern Vietnam and elsewhere in mainland Southeast Asia.
