Abstract

Edited by Carolyn D. Dillian (Coastal Carolina University), Twenty-Five Years on the Cutting Edge of Obsidian Studies: Selected Readings from the IAOS Bulletin consists of 19 previously published articles from the International Association for Obsidian Studies (IAOS) Bulletin. Dillian selected these articles because they provide a range of methodological and theoretical approaches concerning archaeological obsidian studies from around the world like Eretria, California, and the Near East, for example.

Highlights

  • Dillian selected these articles because they provide a range of methodological and theoretical approaches concerning archaeological obsidian studies from around the world like Eretria, California, and the Near East, for example

  • It is in my opinion that these goals that were first outlined more than 25 years ago were accomplished with the assistance and hard work of many archaeologists, researchers, and laboratory workers

  • More work needs to be conducted to extend the coverage of obsidian source maps in more places where outcrops are present, researchers who are interested in North American sources will be pleased
