Abstract: I N this article, I summarize the Thailand finds at Spirit Cave (domesticated plants before 9700 B.C. and polished stone tools and cord-marked pottery at 6800 B.c.); finds at Non Nok Tha (rice before 3500 B.C., a copper, socketed tool at 3500 B.C., and double-mold, bronze casting by 2300 B.C.); and supporting data from other Southeast Asian locations.Technological development for Southeast Asia from 25,000 to 1 B.C. is summarized, and a developmental framework for Southeast Asian prehistory and the spread of these developments follows.Southeast Asian contributions to world culture are cited, and I conclude with a brief discussion of the problems significant to world cultural change suggested by these developments.
