Ancient skeletons reveal history s secrets
Associate Professor Dr Nguyen Lan Cuong has been a paleoanthropologist for 44 years. Although retired, he still stays busy by taking trips to look for new archaeological discoveries.

He is currently the deputy secretary general of the Viet Nam Archaeological Association and a history lecturer at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities.
When I heard that the Archaeological Team (the precursor of today s Institute for Archaeology) was hiring staff to study ancient human skeletons at excavation sites I decided to join them.
