Abstract
In this article we provide a critical re-examination of the sites associated with the “Đông
Dương Buddhist Monastery” of the Champā civilization in Quảng Nam province, Vietnam. We
argue this re-examination is needed because contemporary understandings are based on research
that is more than 100 years old. While Vietnamese language research has progressed, until now, no
English language publication has provided an update on the Đông Dương complex sites, including
watchtowers, a citadel, relations with nearby ports, religious sites, a production site, and funerary
sites, all associated with the Indrapura polity of Champā.
