Assessing human behavior during the Upper Pleistocene of Southeast Asia from a technological standpoint has long been viewed as problematic due to the indistinctiveness of the stone tool artifacts. Often expediently produced from poor quality stone and lacking standardization in tool form, these 'low-input' industries have been taken as evidence that the lithic economies of Pleistocene hunter-gatherers here were likely deemphasized in favor of locally abundant organic materials. While the unique prehistoric ecological constraints appear to be the primary limiting factor in the production of complex lithic industries, the extent to which lithic economies of Late Pleistocene foragers in Southeast Asia were truly liberated from the type of embedded procurement strategies and broader landscape-use patterns inferred from contemporaneous hunter-gatherer stone tool traditions has not been explored at the regional scale. Using a new methodology to reconstruct technological organization from a whole assemblage perspective, the reconstruction of artifact discard patterns and mobility patterns indicates that lithic technologies of Southeast Asia were an integral component of the technological system and were structured in ways fundamentally similar to hunter-gatherers of the Late Pleistocene foragers of Western Eurasia. The findings from this thesis suggest that stone tools of Southeast Asia can be modeled within a larger anthropological framework emphasizing the relationship between mobility strategies and human technological behavior. Furthermore, the preliminary results indicate that non-human assemblages, which have been difficult to distinguish from modern assemblages typologically, deviate from the expectations of the model and could be behaviorally significant and not simply a broader function of the environment.
