A View of Champā Sites in Phú Yên Province, Vietnam: Toward a Longue Durée of Socio-Religious Context

Research reveals that the Citadel of the Ho Dynasty, located in Phú Yên province, Vietnam, was part of the historically understudied region of Kauṭhāra within the Champā polity. This area stands out as one of the longest-occupied Champā regions, yet it has received less archaeological attention compared to northern sites. The study integrates historical documents, maps, and archaeological evidence to contextualize the citadel's socio-religious significance within the broader Hindu–Buddhist traditions of Champā. A key insight is the potential for future research to focus on the Early Modern period, offering a deeper understanding of persistent settlement patterns over time. The findings underscore the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration between historians and archaeologists to advance local and transregional studies in Asian cultural history.
