Archaeologists from Vietnam and Australia, excavating a site in the central province of Ha Tinh, have unearthed what they believe are the remains of three people who died more than 5,000 years ago.

The archaeologists from the Vietnam National University in Hanoi, the Australian National University in Canberra, and the Ha Tinh Museum, found the bones at the Ru Diep Archaeological site at Thach Dai Commune, Thach Ha District.
Among the finds was a skull, teeth, arm and leg bones, and ribs. The remains, believed to be from three individuals, were found at a depth of 1.8 metres.
Nguyen Tri Son, the director of the Ha Tinh Museum, said it will take at least two weeks for the excavation to be completed.
Further study was required to determine the exact age and gender of the remains.
