What can lithics tell us about technological complexity? Reflections on and around the Hoabinhian phenomenon in the cobble world
Open AccessYuduan Zhou, Xiangxi Lan et al.ARTICLEArchaeometry2025References: 72
For a long time, scientific discussions of the behavioral, technological, cultural, and cognitive complexity of Homo sapiens have been Europe‐ and Africa‐centered for their abundant archaeological discoveries related to behavioral modernity and cultural diversity of H. sapiens . However, the techno‐cultural complexity of H. sapiens is still poorly understood in southern China and mainland Southeast Asia. In the East, the Paleolithic industries ar…

The Last Glacial Maximum in the Tropics: Human Responses to Global Change, 30–10 ka
Open AccessA Leplongeon, Eslem Ben Arous et al.ARTICLEJournal of World Prehistory2025Cited by: 1References: 23
The world at 18,000 BP , published by Gamble and Soffer (The world at 18,000 BP. Vol. 2: low latitude, Unwin Hyman, 1990), represents the first, and so far the only, attempt at characterising and discussing the impact of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) on human societies on a global scale. At the time, they highlighted that research and data on the LGM in southern latitudes and the tropics in particular were scant. Since 1990, however, many sites …
The “Sumatralith” in the Hoabinhian technocomplex of South China and Southeast Asia: A techno-functional perspective
Yuduan Zhou, Ruxi Yang et al.ARTICLEPrehistoric Archaeology2024
The Hoabinhian technocomplex has been one of the major concerns of Paleolithic archaeologists in China in recent years, and it has been an inevitable topic especially when it comes to the comparison of the tradition of cobble-tool industries in South China and Southeast Asia. The characterization of the lithic industry of the Hoabinhian technocomplex is largely based on the presence or absence of “Sumatralith”, but there has not been a study that…
An integrative study of new environmental and cultural data from the Hoabinhian of Laang Spean Cave (Cambodia) including modern human remains
Open AccessValery Zeitoun, Antonio Pérez Balarezo et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Environments and Humans2024Cited by: 2References: 20
Although the Hoabinhian culture is renowned for its unifacial pebble tools and its discovery dates back more than a century, only a handful of sites provide complete information on this period. The site of Laang Spean, in Cambodia, has recently been described as a burial cave for the Neolithic period, but it was previously known as an emblematic Hoabinhian site for Cambodia. More comprehensive studies indicate that it offers a wide window onto th…

Final Pleistocene-Early Holocene (∼40–8 ka) Lithic Industries in Southern China and Their Implications for Understanding the Prehistory of Mainland Southeast Asia
Yuduan Zhou, H Forestier et al.ARTICLELithic Technology2023Cited by: 7References: 15
The cultural relationship between southern China and mainland Southeast Asia during the final Pleistocene-early Holocene is a major concern in prehistoric studies among scholars in both regions. During this period, the lithic assemblages are known to be predominantly cobble-based industries, grouped under the term “chopper-chopping tools tradition”. The analytical simplification of different assemblages may make typological sense, and this could …

Signs of prehistory. A Peircian semiotic approach to lithics
Open AccessJustin Guibert, Antonio Pérez Balarezo et al.ARTICLEArchaeological Dialogues2023Cited by: 4References: 13
How can we understand prehistoric lithic objects? What meaning should we give them and what view should we adopt to claim access to their significance? How can we reduce and clarify our biases? This article is a proposal to introduce Peircian semiotics to review lithic objects. For a long time, these were apprehended as types, sometimes within evolutionary lineages; however, in this research, knapped stone objects will be perceived through a semi…
Tiempo, memoria y alteridad en tecnología lítica: Síntesis y perspectivas del enfoque tecnogenético francés
Open AccessLouis De Weyer, Dionel Barbosa et al.ARTICLEJournal of Lithic Studies2022
En el campo de los estudios en tecnología lítica prehistórica, el enfoque tecnogenético tiene su origen a fines de los años 1980. Los enfoques tradicionales, de la tipología a la tecnología de producción, tienden a abordar los objetos líticos de la prehistoria a través de sus dimensiones sociocultural y económica, sin realmente considerar la existencia de una tecnogénesis anterior a estas contingencias. La aprehensión de esta dimensión tecnogenét…

Time, memory and alterity in prehistoric lithic technology: Synthesis and perspectives of the French technogenetic approach
Open AccessLouis De Weyer, Antonio Pérez Balarezo et al.ARTICLEJournal of Lithic Studies2022Cited by: 4References: 21
The technogenetic approach in the field of prehistoric lithic technology studies originated in the late 1980s. Traditional approaches, such as typology and production technology, have tended to approach prehistoric lithic objects through their socio-cultural and economic dimensions, without really considering the existence of a technogenesis prior to these contingencies. The apprehension of this technogenetic dimension in prehistory will call upo…

An overview of stranded cetacean scavenging in Atlantic southern Africa since the Earlier Stone Age
Open AccessIsis Mesfin, Isis Isabella Mesfin et al.ARTICLELes Nouvelles de l archéologie2022Cited by: 1References: 14
Along the southern African coastal plain, human occupation is documented since the end of the Early Pleistocene. The archaeological, palaeoenvironemental and ethnographic records suggest that in these arid to semi-arid landscapes where inland resources are sometimes scarce, coastal zones were attractive to past human populations. Among the intertidal resources, stranded marine mammals are known to have been sporadically available from several mil…

L'approche technogénétique dans le domaine des études en technologie lithique préhistorique trouve son origine à la fin des années 1980.
