Abstract
AbstractThis report concerns the chemical characterization of obsidian sources from Central Anatolia by neutron activation analysis. The sources covered in this study were Göllü Dağ, Hotamiş Dağ, Köru Dağ, Nenezi Dağ, and Çatköy. The study reported here was undertaken with the object of obtaining an accurate “fingerprint” of the compositions of obsidian sources that would permit tracing the origin of archaeological obsidian artifacts to their sources, and in particular, archaeological obsidian recovered from prehistoric sites in Israel. The extent of the sampling within the sources was more thorough than hitherto reported and the results are of high precision and accuracy.
