The Go-Mun culture (Gò-Mun culture) is a Bronze Age culture in what is now Vietnam . It flourished from around 1000 to 700 BC. And followed the Đồng-Đậu culture . It was roughly the same size. The Go Mun culture is named after the Go Mun site in Phu Thọ province . It is especially attested in the north of the country. The people of the Go-Mun culture worked bronze , but stone objects are also still common. Bones, on the other hand, were a rather rare material, but there are amulets made from tiger, pig or dog teeth.
The ceramic is dark gray or light red and hard fired. High legs and wide bellies are popular with the shapes. The ceramic is decorated with incised patterns.
