English summary on page 90 as follows: There are a lot of ancient ceramic centers in Hai Duong, but in this article I confine in the study of dates of the four centers: Xom Hong (Chi Linh), Chu Dau (Nam Sach), Hop Le and Cay Ngoi (Cam Giang). 1. Date of Xom Hong center: From the comparison with some ceramics with underglaze -iron decoration in Xom Hong site and those in some other sites inside the country and abroad, I suppose that the date of Xom Hong center is about the late 13th century to the early 14th century. 2. Date of the Chu Dau center: The comparison of Chu Dau ceramics found in some sunken ships and those found in some sites of Mac dynasty in Hai Phong, i suppose that the Chu Dau center might start in the late 14th century, develop in the 15th and 16th centuries and ended in the 17th century. 3. Date of the Hop Le center: From the study of the data of the artifacts as well as the stratigraphy of the Hop Le center, I can possibly consider the date from the 15th to the 18th centuries for this ceramic center. 4. Date of the Cay Ngoi center: From the comparison with ceramic artifacts in other centers and the study of historical records, I suppose that Cay Ngoi center might be dated from 15th century and lasted in the 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries and some of its parts have recently restored. These centers have simultaneously developing stages, but with various characteristics, forming different traditions that parallel existed.
