Ten jar tombs dating back to 3,000 years ago were discovered in the central province of Quang Ngai on Monday.
Archaeologists from Quang Ngai General Museum found the tombs after 2 months excavating an 80-square-meter site around Nuoc Trong Lake.
The archaeologists said initial research suggested these tombs belonged to the Sa Huynh culture.
Sa Huynh Culture flourished in central and southern Vietnam over 2,500 years ago and was one of the three cradles of civilization in Vietnam besides Oc Eo and Dong Son cultures.
A unique characteristic of Sa Huynh people was their funeral rites in which the deceased were cremated and their ashes were placed in jars for burial.
