Châu Can

Châu Can (Hà Tây) is an archaeological site in the Red River Delta in northern Vietnam.

[1] The burials at Châu Can are less prolific numerically, compared to the Việt Khê artefacts, with a smaller number of buried goods.

The burials were also placed in smaller coffins, and the lack of bronze vessels and musical artefacts, leading to speculation by scholars that the settlement at Chau Can had fewer metallurgical tradesmen than were present at Việt Khê.

[1] Burial 3 contained the remains of a human, believed to be female, who was buried alongside a spearhead in the coffin.

These consisted of a wooden ladle, a pottery vessel and a clay tray and another bamboo object whose method of use was not clear to archaeologists.
