Abstract
The results of a year-long soil temperature monitoring programme are presented. They increase understanding of the magnitude, spatial scale and predictability of variation in soil temperature regimes which affect obsidian hydration dating. It is demonstrated that current archaeological temperature estimation methods, either due to design or application, do not provide temperature control at a spatial resolution fine enough to control for microregional variation. This failure is resulting in significant and avoidable dating errors.
