Archaeological Work in the Central Area of Imperial Citadel of Thang Long-Hanoi, Vietnam

Archaeological excavations at the No.18 site on Hoang Dieu Street, within the Central Sector of the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long-Hanoi, have uncovered significant insights into the city's historical layout, palace construction, aristocratic life, inheritance practices, and cultural exchanges. The findings provide a detailed account of the citadel's role as a political and cultural center during its thousand-year tenure as Vietnam's capital, from its establishment in 1010 under the Ly Dynasty to its recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This research sheds light on the evolution of Dai La Citadel, predating the Imperial Citadel, and its transformation into Thang Long, offering a comprehensive understanding of its architectural and social significance.
