English summary on page 92 as follows:Seven bronze dreums recently discovered in (former) Ha Giang should be classified as follows: --In the type I Heger (late) : Ha Giang 1 drum
Meo Vac 1, Meo Vac 2 and Meo Vac 3 drums. --In the type VI Heger: Meo Vac 4 and Meo Vac 5 drums, Pha La drum. The analysis of thes drums, clearly ashows a traditional continuity from the late type I to the type IV. The transformation area of these twp types was not in the overall North Viet Nam but rather in the northern highlands of northern Viet nam such as (former) Ha Giang. (former) Yen Bai and Lang Son (including probably Cao Bang and (former) Tuyen Quang). The type IV is further found in great number in Soputh China. It might be the Lo Lo tribes the makers of the late type I, thenceforth it might assume several ethnies, among them those in the northern highlands of Viet Nam, should have been the makers of Dong Son culture.
