Protohistoric site in southern Vietnam in the Mekong Delta, thought to have been the main port of the kingdom of Funan, built on a Neolithic site. This port settlement, which flourished amid a complex of other settlements connected by canals, was not only an extraordinarily rich emporium dealing in articles from as far as Rome and inner Asia, but it was also a local manufacturing center producing its own jewelry, pottery, and other trade goods. In addition to objects of local production, a large amount of traded goods from India and China, western Asia, and even the Mediterranean, dated to between the 2nd-7th centuries AD, have been found. These finds include Roman coins of Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius of the 2nd century AD; Chinese bronzes, Indian beads, seals, and other jewelry.
