Recovered carved stone objects at My Son.
A detailed topographic map of the entire site was produced helping to plan for zoning identifying the protected area, buffer zone and land-mined areas. Then mapping of all the buildings was done in the surveyed area. Campaigns of geophysical prospect have been carried-out to localize buried remains and dig-up trial trenches to work out the sequence, on behalf of a more correct chronology. Topographic surveying meter by meter with a total station to reconstruct the shape of the hill and install the topographic grid were undertaken. The team also conducted photographic and drawing documentation of the numerous archaeological and architectural objects scattered in the area.
