| Abstract: |
The article is about the cultural relation of the inhabitants in the mountainous and coastal areas in the prehistory of North Vietnam. The author assumes that in the Early Neolithic, the cultural relation mainly occured among the mountainous areas. Though the inhabitants had approached the sea through exchange of products, they hadn't exploited it, there were no marine factors. Up to the Late Neolithic, marine cultures were formed with the initial divisions of economic - social regions. The relationship between the mountainous and marine areas was established by the system of large rivers. To the Bronze Age, the cultures of the plains in the North Delta were formed. Together with the large rivers, the plains functioned as an intermediate zone intersecting cultural factors of the mountainous and marine areas. These cultures developed similarly among different areas, but the relationship between the mountainous areas was more faded than the previous stage.
