For artifacts collected during archaeological excavations, Tuyen Quang Provincial Museum and the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Tuyen Quang Province are responsible for preserving and protecting them to avoid damage or loss and reporting to the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism on plans to protect and promote the value of those artifacts.
After the completion of the archaeological excavation, the Tuyen Quang Provincial Museum and the Institute of Archaeology must have a preliminary report and propose a plan for management and protection of the excavated area within 1 month at the latest and a scientific report within 1 year at the latest, sent to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. Before announcing the results of the archaeological excavation, the licensed agencies must discuss and reach an agreement with the Department of Cultural Heritage.
Previously, the Institute of Archaeology (Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences) sent document No. 191/KCH to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Department of Cultural Heritage requesting permission to conduct archaeological excavations at the Bau citadel relic (Tuyen Quang) for the second time.
The objective of the excavation is to search for and identify traces of the citadel wall and related architectural works, thereby seeing the distribution range of the relic, the scale of the citadel wall, and the location of the architectural works. The excavation results will contribute to providing data for the study of the process of formation of the relic, the structural characteristics, and the types of materials used in the construction of the citadel and architecture.
The excavation results also provide documents for research on the heritage value, historical and cultural value of An Khang (Tuyen Quang) in particular and Tuyen Quang province in general. On a broader scale, the excavation and research results also provide documents for studying the history of Vietnamese citadels, the history of Vietnamese architecture as well as the handicrafts in history.
