The Plain of Jars, located on a plateau in central Laos, gets its name from more than 2,100 tubular-shaped megalithic stone jars used for funerary practices in the Iron Age. This serial property of 15 components contains large carved stone jars, stone discs, secondary burials, tombstones, quarries and funerary objects dating from 500 BCE to 500 CE. The jars and associated elements are the most prominent evidence of the Iron Age civilization that made and used them until it disappeared, around 500 CE.
川圹巨石缸遗址-石缸平原
位于老挝中部高原的石缸平原得名于其上的2100多个巨型石缸，这些石缸是铁器时代的丧葬遗迹。整个遗产地包含15个组成部分。除巨型石缸之外，这里还有可追溯到公元前500年至公元500年的石盘、墓葬品、墓碑、采石场等。石缸和相关元素是这个铁器时代文明最突出的证据，这些物品的制造和使用贯穿该文明的整个过程，直至其于公元500年前后消失。
