| Abstract: |
The excavation at Go Sanh (Binh Dinh province) in 1991 has classified the structure of the kilns found here. The kiln had the pipe-shaped structure with two parts: the fire-box and the chamber. The Chamber is fairly large and Long - 875m long, 2.5m and 2.05m wide with the system of slits to support the fire and the complete system of chimneys. The rest of the wall of the kiln is from 0.80m to 1.45m built by arranging saggars. The excavation has obained 3,821 artifacts which are the products of the kiln with two types: architectural materials and household ceramics. The first type includes tiles (leaf-point shape and shoe-head shape)
the artifacts as architectural decoratives were finely formed and high-qualified. The second type includes bowls, plates, glazed earthenwares . . . with various shapes and sizes. Initially we suppose that the owner of the kilns might be Champa people. The date of the kiln might be from the 14th to the 15th centuries.
