The Cau Sat archaeological site was discovered by local people in December 1975, located in Hamlet 2, Binh Loc Commune, Long Khanh City. Since its discovery, the site has undergone two excavations (in 1976 and 2021). The results of the explorations and excavations and through the collected artifacts such as quadrilateral axes, shouldered axes, grinding tables and pottery, etc., archaeologists have determined that the Cau Sat archaeological site belongs to the type of residence containing many great values ​​in terms of material - spiritual, scientific - technical, economic - social of the ancient residents here.

The diverse artifacts collected during the excavation process prove that ancient residents lived here from 5,000 to 2,000 years ago. With its residential nature, the relic is a source of historical data providing a scientific basis for clarifying the historical and cultural values ​​of ancient residents in the Long Khanh - Dong Nai land.

Regarding this issue, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism has submitted a document to the Provincial People's Committee proposing to rank the Cau Sat archaeological site, Binh Loc commune, Long Khanh city at the provincial level.
