The potential of obsidian "big data"

open access: yesUISPP Journal, 2019
Studies of obsidian provenance have been a core component of the archaeological sciences from the mid-1960s onward. With the growing application of portable X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometers (PXRF) in obsidian research, the number of such studies, and the

Tectonic Setting and Evolution of Anatectic Melt Composition During Prograde Metamorphism up to UHT Metamorphism: Constraints From P–T–t–Melting Path From Rundvågshetta, Lützow–Holm Complex, East Antarctica

open access: yesJournal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 43, Issue 5, Page 467-495, June 2025.
ABSTRACT The pressure–temperature–time (P–T–t) evolution of a metapelitic ultrahigh‐temperature (UHT) granulite from Rundvågshetta (Lützow–Holm Complex, East Antarctica) and chemical evolution of partial melt during the prograde metamorphism up to UHT metamorphism are studied in detail.

Importation of Obsidian at Cerro Palenque, Honduras: Results of an Analysis by EDXRF

open access: yes, 2004
The results of source analysis by EDXRF of obsidian artifacts from the Mesoamerican site of Cerro Palenque in Honduras are reported and changes over time discussed. Sources of obsidian include Ixtepeque, El Chayal, Jalapa, San Martin Jilotepeque, and San

Fault textures in volcanic conduits: evidence for seismic trigger mechanisms during silicic eruptions. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
It is proposed that fault textures in two dissected rhyolitic conduits in Iceland preserve evidence for shallow seismogenic faulting within rising magma during the emplacement of highly viscous lava flows. Detailed field and petrographic analysis of such

Effects of Subduction Fluids and Fractional Crystallization on the Magnetic Minerals Formation in the Back‐Arc Basin

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 10, 28 May 2025.
Abstract (Titano)magnetite is the major magnetic carrier in igneous rocks, whether it can decode the influence of subduction fluids and fractional crystallization characteristics in back‐arc basins is unclear. Here, we performed petrographic and magnetic analyses on volcanic samples from the Okinawa Trough, with titanomagnetite as the dominant magnetic

Socio‐Cultural Connectivity Along the Zagros Mountains: A SEM‐EDS Study of Rare Neolithic Obsidian Artifacts From the Kohgiluyeh Region (Southwest Iran)

open access: yesGeoarchaeology, Volume 40, Issue 3, May/June 2025.
ABSTRACT Recent archaeological investigations in the Kohgiluyeh region of southwestern Iran revealed numerous Neolithic sites along with diverse settlement strategies adapted to the local resources and environmental conditions of this high mountainous stretch of the Zagros Mountains.

Character of the opposition effect and negative polarization [PDF]

open access: yes
Photometric and polarimetric properties at small phase angles were measured for silicates with controlled surface properties in order to distinguish properties that are associated with surface reflection from those that are associated with multiple ...

Tracing the source of obsidian from prehistoric sites in Bulgaria

open access: yesБългарско е-Списание за Археология, 2017
Portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) spectrometry was used to obtain source determinations for 11 obsidian artefacts from five archaeological sites in Bulgaria. The results show that all the archaeological specimens can be linked to obsidian sources in the

Degree of Coupling in 3D Multilayer Continental Lithospheric Buckling: Implications for Tectonic Underpressure

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 5, May 2025.
Abstract The interplay between lithospheric strength contrast and tectonic compression by relative plate motion drives buckling instability. Analysis of lithospheric buckling with plate tectonic history is essential for inferring lithospheric strength.
