Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Hoabinhian is a lithic techno-complex of archaeological sites associated with assemblages in Southeast Asia from late Pleistocene to Holocene, dated to c. 10,000–2000 BCE.[1] It is attributed to hunter-gatherer societies of the region and their technological variability over time is poorly understood.[2] In 2016 a rockshelter was identified in Xiaodong rockshelter in Yunnan (China), 40 km from the border with Myanmar, where artifacts belonging to the Hoabinhian technocomplex were recognized. These artifacts date from 41,500 BCE.[3]
Bacsonian is often regarded as a variation of the Hoabinhian industry characterized by a higher frequency of edge-grounded cobble artifacts compared to earlier Hoabinhian artifacts, dated to c. 8000–4000 BCE.[4][5]
