| Abstract: |
Due to its differences from the Hoabinhian and Bacsonian cultures, the "Da But culture" has been generally accepted as a separate entity by most researchers. Through June 2002, a total of eight Dabutian sites were known. These include a series of sites with similar cultural components, including Go Trung, Con Co Ngua, Ban Thuy and Lang Cong, as well as Da But itself. Researchers can recognize a Dabutian site through its distinctive pottery, polished stone tools, and a unique adaptation to coastal swamp and lake areas. These distinctions separate the Da But culture from the earlier Hoabinhian and Bacsonian cultures.
