An early Holocene (c8000-4000 be) stone tool industry of northern Vietnam, normally regarded as a late variant of the more widespread Southeast Asian Hoabinhian industry. The Bacsonian industry is characterized by a high proportion of edge-ground pebble tools, and some sites have produced cord- or basket-marked pottery. The industry could have incipient horticultural associations, but this is the subject of an unresolved current debate. See also Da But.
