Abstract:	The Peabody Museum at Harvard University houses the Olov Janse Collection of archaeological materials recovered by the Swedish archaeologist Olov Janse during his excavations at a number of important Bronze Age and Protohistoric sites in Viet Nam. The artefacts in the collection were loaned to the museum in 1942. This paper briefly describes the history of Olov Janse's work in Viet Nam, highlights the problems encountered by scholars of Vietnamese archaeology when collections are housed in overseas institutions, and makes a case for the return of these materials to their cultural context in Viet Nam.
