Ancient human dispersal across the South China Sea : viewed from a comparative study on the Iron Age pottery of Vietnam and the Philippines

第二次发掘于2010年在越南中部的华甸铁器时代墓地进行。Hoa Diem墓罐相关的随葬品陶器与菲律宾中部的Kalanay洞穴和泰国南部的苏梅岛发现的陶器惊人地相似。考古研究使我们相信，这些陶器应该可以追溯到公元2世纪和3世纪，因为在罐葬中发现的一颗人类牙齿的C14年代也证实了这一点。因此，南海以外的中国互动发生在东南亚第一次建国时期。

The second excavation was carried out at the Iron Age burial site of Hoa Diem, central Vietnam in 2010. The funerary accessory pottery associated with burial jars at Hoa Diem shows the striking similarity to the pottery found at the Kalanay Cave in the central Philippines and on the Samui Island in southern Thailand. Archaeological study made us believe that those ceramic vessels should be dated back to the 2nd and 3rd century AD, as it was also verified by the C14 date of a human tooth found in a jar burial. Thus, the interaction beyond the South China Sea took place during the period of the first state formation in Southeast Asia.
