Opis

The Origins of Ancient Vietnam explores the genesis of civilization in the Red River Delta of Vietnam and how it can inform our understanding of ancient societies, generally, and the foundations of Vietnamese culture, specifically.

Recenzje

In this outstanding volume Nam Kim describes how his excavations have identified a capital that was founded by an aristocratic elite, prospered in its rich habitat, and ultimately faced Han Chinese imperial ambitions. Formerly the stuff of legendary kings, we now have a new and convincing prehistory anchored by the results of intense archaeological fieldwork.
