Previously, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism issued a decision allowing the My Son Cultural Heritage Management Board to cooperate with the Institute of Archaeology to conduct archaeological exploration and excavation in the area between Tower K and the central group of towers within the My Son Temple Complex.

The exploration and excavation period starts from July to the end of November. The exploration and excavation area allowed by the decision is ^770m2 .

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism requires that during archaeological exploration and excavation, licensed agencies need to pay attention to protecting the stratigraphy of the relic and propagate to the people about protecting local cultural heritage.

In particular, do not announce official conclusions without the agreement of the competent authority and the Department of Cultural Heritage.

The My Son Cultural Heritage Management Board and other units must be responsible for preserving and maintaining artifacts collected during archaeological exploration and excavation, and to avoid damage or loss.

At the same time, report to the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism to grasp the plan to protect and promote the value of the artifacts.

My Son temple complex is located in a valley surrounded by hills, in Duy Phu commune, Duy Xuyen district, Quang Nam province (now Da Nang city).

This is where more than 70 temples and towers are kept, along with more than 30 steles dating from the 7th to the 13th century. The above documents are the best evidence to study the development process of Cham culture and art.

In December 1999, UNESCO recognized My Son Relics as a World Cultural Heritage.

Over the past decades, domestic and foreign archaeologists and experts have worked hard to restore this ancient relic for sightseeing and cultural study.

During the restoration and excavation process, the units also discovered many valuable artifacts. Some artifacts are classified as national treasures and are under special protection.
