Tham Lod rockshelter (Pang Mapha district, north-western Thailand): Evolution of the lithic assemblages during the late Pleistocene

As some of the artefacts are definitely considered as “Hoabinhian”, the detailed technological study of the lithic industry will help in understanding this “techno-cultural” facies and in tracing how the stone artefacts were manufactured, used, maintained and finally discarded by the hunters-gatherers. Analysis of the whole sequence in Tham Lod aims at reconstructing the technical evolution in the context of the late Pleistocene climatic changes in this part of Eurasia.
