A 5-metre deep marine shell midden in northern Vietnam which has produced a flaked stone industry together with pottery, grindstones and contracted burials, dated to c3000 bc. The industry lacks the normal Hoabinhian and Bacsonian pebble and edge-ground tools, but it could be a late and specialized coastal variant of the Hoabinhian. Fauna include deer, cattle, pig, dog and elephant, all presumed wild.
