This place still preserves many tangible and intangible cultural heritages that testify to the legend of "Vay Village Fortress" of the Hung King's soldiers fighting against the Thuc invaders, protecting the southwest gateway of Phong Chau citadel, keeping the border of Van Lang peaceful in ancient times.
Son Vi people are very proud, because the place where they were born, grew up and have been attached for generations is one of the cradles of the ancient Vietnamese people. The 2019 Lam Thao District Historical and Cultural Relics and Typical Traditional Festivals records: A corner of Vuon Sau relic - Son Vi archaeological site was discovered in March 1968 at the Rung Sau mound, Son Vi commune. With typical characteristics discovered for the first time in Son Vi, the culture was named - Son Vi Culture, which is the culture of the residents of the late Paleolithic period.
Archaeologists have confirmed: The outstanding feature of stone tools of Son Vi culture is the use of river and stream pebbles to make tools. These are local raw materials, selected by the ancients with quite stable shapes for each type and each group of relics. The typical tools of Son Vi culture are divided into two groups: Whole pebble tools including pestles, grinding tables, grinding stones and the group of chiseled pebble tools.
In the archaeological collections of Son Vi culture, the group of chipping and flaking tools is large in quantity and diverse in types, including: Horizontal blade edge tools; vertical blade edge tools; quarter pebble tools; split pebble tools... These tools have different sizes, demonstrating chipping and flaking techniques as a special technique in Son Vi technique.
In addition, this collection also includes double-edged, triple-edged, pointed-pointed, multi-edged, and some flakes, still using the chipping technique as the main technique. In the multi-edged tool type, the chipping technique is used to chisel off a large surface of a natural pebble shell, chiseled from one layer to many different layers to form sharp edges.
Son Vi archaeological tools are displayed at Hung Vuong Museum, Viet Tri city.
Still using those techniques, Hoa Binh culture had a further development step to create stone axes combined with grinding techniques. The above tools were used daily by Son Vi residents as tools for chopping, cutting, smashing, pounding, and grinding on daily-use items such as vegetables, wild animal meat, etc.
So far, archaeologists have discovered 230 sites related to the Son Vi culture nationwide, of which the most are in Phu Tho province with 105 sites.
