New Findings On Obsidian Source Utilization In Iowa
Plains Anthropologist, 1987In a recent paper summarizing the pre historic distribution of obsidian in Iowa, Ander son et al. (1986) show that the majority of this material was imported from quarry sources in the vicinity of Obsidian Cliff, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. The trace element compositions of eight of the 31 specimens in their sample, however, did not match any ...

Identification of the Sources of Hopewellian Obsidian in the Middle West
American Antiquity, 1969AbstractOne hundred and twenty years ago, the first obsidian implements were reported from Hopewellian mounds by Squier and Davis (1848). Since that time, a number of regions have been suggested as the source area: Alaska, the Pacific Coast, Yellowstone National Park, New Mexico, and central Mexico.

Geochemical composition of source obsidians from Kenya
Journal of Archaeological Science, 2013Abstract Here we provide a reference resource to archaeologists interested in the sources of obsidian in Kenya, through electron microprobe analyses of 194 obsidian samples from 90 localities. Averaged analyses of each sample and eleven published analyses are categorized into 84 compositional groups of which only about 21 are known to have been used ...

Obsidian Source Identification by Fission Track Analysis
Nature, 1971Fission track analysis has been used to determine the age and uranium content of obsidians from sources in southeast Europe and Anatolia, and from archaeological deposits in mesolithic levels at the Franchthi Cave in southern Greece. It is confirmed that the Franchthi obsidian came from the Aegean island of Melos.

The Paredón, Mexico, Obsidian Source and Early Formative Exchange
Science, 1978In 1975, archeological surface surveys of trade routes located again a pre-Hispanic obsidian source in central Mexico first reported in 1902. Initial trace element studies of the Paredón source through an analysis by neutron activation have been compared with similar studies of the obsidian found at Chalcatzingo 150 kilometers from the source.

Source Attribution and the Utilization of Obsidian in the Maya Area
Latin American Antiquity, 2003AbstractAssignment by instrument of Maya obsidian artifacts to geological sources has demonstrated the presence of several sources and variations in their distribution over time and space. Of special interest is the minor, but long-standing, presence of green and gray obsidian from Central Mexico.

Characterization of the Monte Arci (Sardinia) Obsidian Sources
Journal of Archaeological Science, 1997In the western Mediterranean, obsidian from four volcanic island sources was used beginning in the Neolithic period. The geological sources on Lipari, Palmarola, and Pantelleria have been located and chemically characterized; until now, however, the Monte Arci source in Sardinia was better known from the analysis of archaeological rather than ...
