Abstract: English summary on page 83 as follows: Go Cay Tung site is located at Thoi Thuan hamlet Thoi Son village, Tinh Bien distric, An Giang provionce. In the first excavation, we excavated and studied the whole ruins of a architectual work, at the same time we discovered 23 ancient skeletons which were buried inside and outside of the ruins and a large settlement site. The article merely introduces the ruins of architectural work including 2 layers: The architecture in the lower layer has a total plan T-shaped which was with the longest side of 21.60m and the widest side of 11.20m built completely with bricks. The architecture in the upper layer lies on the lower one, including pieces of floors, small parts of walls which are not linked with each other and built mainly with broken bricks. Besides bricks were some badly broken statues and 2 mounts of some and earthen materials with sqaure holes.
