The Plain of Jars is a megalithic archaeological landscape in Laos. It consists of thousands of Iron Age stone jars scattered around the upland valleys and the lower foothills of the central plain of the Xiangkhoang Plateau. The giant jars are mostly arranged in clusters ranging in number from one to several hundred, the majority are made of carved sandstone.
The ancient human remains found in some of the jars suggest they were used in some kind of funerary process.
