| Abstract: |
Based on the new discoveries on the two cultures, the author sets up his latest point of view about the relations between Hoabinh culture and Bacson culture. The feature of pebble tools in Bacson culture is different from the one in Hoabinh. A high rate of amorphous chipped tools of which the sizes are always smaller is seen in Bacson. The flake tools reminding the Nguom tradition are popularly found in Bacson almost are made of flakes, but in Haobinh, they are made of pebbles. Therefore, Hoabinh and Bacson are not one, but two separate cultures in which Bacson is the result of integration between two cultural traditions of pebble tools and flake ones, meanwhile Hoabinh is only one of pebble tradition. It is not able to integrate them.
