Obsidians from occurrences located in Armenia have been analysed using neutron activation analysis, both instrumental and epithermal, in order to enhance the knowledge of characteristics of potential sources of raw material exploited during prehistory. An alternative characterization technique, the fission-track dating method, was also applied. Results contribute to increase the data-set for provenance studies of prehistoric obsidian artifacts in the Mediterranean and adjacent regions.

Abstract

Obsidians from occurrences located in Armenia have been analysed using neutron activation analysis, both instrumental and epithermal, in order to enhance the knowledge of characteristics of potential sources of raw material exploited during prehistory. An alternative characterization technique, the fission-track dating method, was also applied. Results contribute to increase the data-set for provenance studies of prehistoric obsidian artifacts in the Mediterranean and adjacent regions.

Chemistry & Analysis covers research on natural and laboratory syntheses, chemical structure, structure-function relationship, isolation and analyses of biologically significant molecules, medicinal and food chemistry. Technical material describing crucial chemical methods in biochemical analysis and research is also placed in this category. Resources covering general biochemistry and natural metabolic pathways are excluded.
