8th century brick kiln discovered in Quang Ngai

An ancient brick kiln has been discovered in the central province of Quang Ngai, a provincial archaeologist said on Thursday.
The kiln, which is in one solid piece and measures 3 by 2 meters, was found on a foundation of 120 square meters in the center of the Chau Sa Citadel in the Tinh Chau Commune of the Son Tinh District.

The Chau Sa Citadel was discovered in the early 20th century by a French architect, Parmentier.

According to archaeologist Dr. Nguyen Tien Khoi of the Quang Ngai Provincial Museum, the brick kiln was made by the Cham people around the 8th century.

The Quang Ngai Provincial Museum plans to excavate the relic.
