English summary Hoabinhian artefacts, collected during surveys and excavations realized by the Thai- French Archaeological Mission in Thailand, were studied and classified typologically . But the archaeological collection was not homogeneous and we preferred to analyze it through an experimental and technological way, two aspects generally ignored. The different steps of production have been tested : collect of raw material, shaping out and finally, a few artefacts (mainly axes) were used on different raw material : bamboo and wood. This experimentation took place in Obluang (Chiang Mai Province, Thailand) where the excavations and surveys were done. This study permit to establish a typo-technological terminology, specially adapted to this pebble industry. All the documents we collected during this experimentation constitute a basic data system for archaeologists and students who would be interested in this field.
