  abstract = {{W}hile non-marine turtles are almost ubiquitous in the archaeological record of {S}outheast {A}sia, their zooarchaeological examination has been inadequately pursued within this tropical region. {T}his gap in research hinders a complete comprehension of past human subsistence strategies and economies, as only a limited number of comprehensive studies encompassing all the taxa found in archaeological sites have been conducted thus far. {T}his constraint becomes particularly significant in relation to prehistoric hunter-gatherer populations, who might have extensively utilized inland chelonian taxa. {I}n order to initiate a new approach to the study of past human-turtle interactions in {S}outheast {A}sia, we propose an in-depth zooarchaeological analysis of turtle bone remains recovered from four {H}oabinhian {H}unter-gatherer archaeological assemblages located in {T}hailand and {C}ambodia, dating from the {L}ate {P}leistocene to the first half of the {H}olocene. {O}ur study focuses on the bone remains attributed to the {Y}ellow-headed {T}ortoise ( {I}ndotestudo elongata) as it is the most represented taxon in archaeological assemblages in the region of study. {F}or this species, we developed osteometric equations enabling the estimation of the carapace size of the archaeological individuals. {T}his allowed us to study the size structure of the archaeological populations at different sites and to reveal the human exploitation strategies of these animals. {W}e observed a significant taphonomic homogeneity among the studied assemblages, along with similarities in the diversity of hunted reptile and amphibian taxa as well as the size of the exploited tortoises. {T}hese findings suggest consistent subsistence behaviors across distinct sites, despite their varying environmental conditions, and raise the possibility of cultural similarities across different periods and regions. {A}dditionally, we provide a baseline for future zooarchaeological studies and a methodological framework for the detailed analysis of archaeological turtle bones in continental {S}outheast {A}sia.},
