In [[Philippines]] and [[Vietnam]], the [[Sa Huynh culture]] showed evidence of an extensive trade network. Sa Huynh beads were made from glass, carnelian, agate, olivine, zircon, gold and garnet; most of these materials were not local to the region and were most likely imported. Han-dynasty-style bronze mirrors were also found in Sa Huynh sites. Conversely, Sa Huynh produced ear ornaments have been found in archaeological sites in Central Thailand, as well as the [[Orchid Island]].<ref>Higham, C. (2014). ''Early Mainland Southeast Asia''.
