  abstract = {{T}hrought continental {S}outheast {A}sia, the {H}oabinhian techno-complex stands out in clear contrast with the universal chrono-cultural model essentially established on the basis of western prehistory. {F}ollowing this model, early authors considered perforated stones and associated lithic artefacts as markers of what was then believed to pertain to a {S}outheast {A}sian {M}esolithic. {H}owever, {S}outheast {A}sian {M}esolitithic has progressively been abandoned in favour of a ubiquitous {H}oabinhian spanning from 30,000 to 3000 {BP}. {H}ere, we present and discuss the discovery of perforated stones at the {D}oi {P}ha {K}an site in northern {T}hailand. {P}erforated stones have almost never been found in undisturbed stratigraphic conditions nor dated with any sufficient degree of certainty. {A}t {D}oi {P}ha {K}an site, such a kind of artefacts was found in burials intersecting sedimentary layers that could be ascertained as {H}oabinhian. {I}n contrast with similar perforated stones described in the literature, that found at {D}oi {P}ha {K}an are well-dated (13,000 {BP}), thus providing a time-reference for a putative {S}outheast {A}sian {M}esolithic. {W}e therefore advocate that such non-{H}oabinhian artefacts support the early authors' hypothesis of the existence of a {S}outheast {A}sian {M}esolithic. {F}inally, the funerary practices, the unusually high stature of individuals found at {D}oi {P}ha {K}an in conjunction with the particular lithic assemblages further contributes to raise the question of the co-occurrence of several cultures or populations at the {P}leistocene-{H}olocene interface in continental {S}outheast {A}sia.},
