Full Description
This comprehensive book covers the state-of-the-art in obsidian sourcing studies including both current and obsolete practices in the framework of archaeological research. It addresses methodological advances and methodological issues, latest fieldwork research, and application around the world, by region.
This book fosters discussion and reflection on the success story that is obsidian sourcing in Archaeology, to go beyond the conventional manual format. It addresses the methodological issues through a diversity of experts with different approaches and practices, presents the current practices related to the fieldwork aspect of obsidian sourcing studies, and offers an overview of the ongoing fieldwork research across the world. The book provides students and scholars with an up-to-date overview of the current research in the field, as well as a reflection on past and present methodological practices.
