Abstract: English summary on pgae 26 as follows: Giong Ca Vo is the first site in Vietnam where discovered a lot of jar burials in which there were ancient human skeletons. Among the total 311 burials, there were infant burials, 14 male burials, 12 female ones. 241 burials had only bone remains and 28 ones without. A great majority of skeletons were buried in sitting posture. 3.53% skeletons in disorder so that it is very difficult to define that the deaths were secondary buried or just buried once. From the study of measurement and indices of skulls, we realize that ancient people of Gong Ca Vo were Mongoloid. The measurements and indices were very similar to modern Viet and ancient inhabitants of the Dong Son culture.
