In 1923, Madeleine Colani and her local guides discovered a very large number of human remains and stone tools, in a limestone cave in Hoa Binh province. Over the next few years, she continuously explored twelve more caves in the Hoa Binh area, unearthing a number of rare relics. After analyzing them and comparing them with the stonework found in the Bac Son mountains, she suggested that all the special pebble relics, with the characteristic that they were hewn only at the tongue or the edges, belonged to them, have the same characteristics of a culture - Hoa Binh Culture.

    

Scientists spoke at the conference

Hoa Binh culture was officially recognized by archaeologists on January 30, 1932, at the proposal of French archaeologist Madeleine Colani, after being convened by the Congress of Prehistoryists of French School of Asian Studies in Hanoi. Originally, this phrase was used to refer to the pebble culture that was hewn all over the perimeter of the pebble to create tools from the Old Stone Age to the Neolithic period. This is a culture that originated the Vietnamese civilization that spread and influenced the northern country. Hoa Binh culture belongs to the Old Stone Age to the Neolithic Age (15,000 years ago, lasting until 2,000 BC).
