A resident in Ninh Binh Province, Vietnam, discovered historical artifacts while preparing land for home construction on Sunday.

Hoang Van Cuong, deputy director of Ninh Binh Museum, confirmed the find and stated museum staff recovered around 20 ceramic jars. Experts identified the jars as relics from the Tran Dynasty, which ruled from the 13th to 14th centuries. The resident found the objects while probing the ground on his property and alerted authorities after suspecting they were unusual.

Museum staff documented the discovery and began excavating the site. The jars appear similar to traditional ceramic containers used for storage or transport, and were found stacked upside down, leading researchers to believe the area once held possessions. Cuong noted that only ceramic jars were found at the site. The museum will continue to study the relics to learn more about the Tran Dynasty and the people who used these objects.
