Abstract Excavations in 2015 at the site of Ru Diep in north-central Vietnam (Ha Tinh Province) raise significant questions about the transition into the Neolithic in this region, more than 5000 years ago. The material culture from the site reveals a mixture of both pre-Neolithic (Quynh Van culture) and Neolithic elements, in a shell mound context. The C14 dates for the site suggest that the surviving layers were deposited between outer limits of 3200 and 2900 cal. BC, but Bayesian analysis indicates a likely accumulation in less than 50 years. This date is almost one millennium older than expected for Neolithic-related materials in north-central Vietnam.

Ru Diep和越南中部的Quynh Van文化

摘要2015年，越南中北部（河定省）Ru Diep遗址的发掘引发了关于距今5000年前该地区向新石器时代过渡的重大问题。该遗址的物质文化在贝壳丘的环境中揭示了新石器时代（奎因·范文化）和新石器时代元素的混合。该地点的C14日期表明，尚存的层沉积在3200和2900 cal的外部界限之间。卑诗省，但贝叶斯分析表明在不到50年的时间里可能会积累。这个日期比越南中北部的新石器时代相关材料的预期要晚近一千年。
