In this paper the author has firstly reconfirmed some names related to the most northern minor states of the Champa kingdom that were noted in Champa inscriptions during the eleventh to fifteenth centuries and are presented in comparison with the place names of the current provinces of Quảng Bình, Quảng Tri, Thừa Thiên-Huế in Central Vietnam. A second section discusses the role of ethnically-motivated aesthetics in Austronesian and Austro-Asiatic determinants of Champa art. In a third part, the issue of Champa historical monument restoration is noted, together with some related suggestions.
