Ngườm is an archaeological site in
Thái Nguyên Province, northern
Vietnam. It is a rock shelter in a limestone cliff near the
Thần Sa River that was excavated in 1981 by archaeologists from the
Vietnam Institute of Archaeology. Flaked stone artefacts have been found in deposits containing shells with
radiocarbon ages of 23,000 years ago.[1] The site is important because of its unusually high proportion of retouched flakes in the stone artefact assemblage, relative to other sites in Southeast Asia.[2]
