Dataran Tinggi Xiangkhoang berada di hujung utara Annamese Cordillera, kawasan pergunungan utama Indochina . Penyelidik Perancis Madeleine Colani menyimpulkan pada tahun 1930 bahawa balang itu dikaitkan dengan amalan penguburan prasejarah. Penggalian oleh ahli arkeologi Lao dan Jepun pada tahun-tahun yang berlanjutan telah menyokong tafsiran ini dengan penemuan mayat, barang-barang penguburan dan seramik di sekitar balang. The Plain of Jars bertarikh pada Zaman Besi (500 SM hingga 500 CE) dan merupakan salah satu tempat prasejarah yang paling penting di Asia Tenggara.
