Abstract
Research into stone artefact archaeology has a long history
in Thailand and has made significant contributions to our
understanding of Southeast Asian prehistory. Since the 1960s
there has been a series of archaeological projects by foreign
and Thai archaeologists that include substantial studies of stone
artefacts. This review of these projects shows how research
priorities, methods and conceptual frameworks have changed
(or not) over time. The review also shows the current state of
knowledge of stone artefacts in Thai archaeology. Finally, it
suggests some promising themes for future work.
