[Paper] The Early Holocene Hoabinhian (8300-8000 cal BC) occupation from Hiem Cave, Vietnam

via Comptes Rendus Palevol, 2023: Paper by Masojć et al looking at a Hoabinhian assemblage in Hoa Binh province in Vietnam.

This paper presents a case study from the Hiem cave (Hoà Bình province, North Vietnam) showing how a multidisciplinary approach in archaeological research can develop knowledge on the everyday life of the hunter-gatherer Hoabinhian groups occupying the cave during the early Holocene (8500-8200 cal BC). The archaeological analysis presents the characteristic Hoabinhian artefacts and their usage, while archeozoological, malacological and archaeobotanical research throw light on the way of life, including plant and animal elements of a daily diet as well as the settlement seasonality of the cave.
