| Summary/Abstract |
The French archaeologists carried excavations in Bình Ðinh Province
during early years of the twentieth century, and the Champa artifacts,
discovered during the same period, have been preserved in some
Museums in Vietnam and France, such as Museum of Vietnam History
in Hochiminh City, the Museum of Chãm Sculptures in Ðà Nang and
Museum of Natural History in France. However, archaeological finds
of Champa arts, discovered after 1975, are only exhibited in Bình
Ðinh Provincial Museum. But, finds of two excavations in An Nhon
and Tây Son Districts conducted in 2002, 2004 and the recent
excavation in Phú Yên Province in 2008 haven’t been still announced
in any monographs. For this reason, my research paper is for the
purpose of the studies of the latest archaeological achievements
reflecting the progress of Champa art as well as art relationship of the
Champa and contiguous kingdoms in Vijaya period. In the eleventh
century. The Champa art has been deeply influenced by other arts
such as the arts of India, Ðai Viet (former Vietnam), Angkor and Java.
