Fission track dating of the obsidian of lipari island (italy)

ABSTRACT OBSIDIAN was widely traded in prehistoric times, and it is of particular interest to archaeologists to reconstruct the trading patterns1–5. One possible source of obsidian for

prehistoric man is Lipari Island (Eolie Archipelago, Italy) and we have dated obsidian flows there for two chief reasons: first, to find out which of these flows could have been used by

primitive man, and second, because we wished to identify the artefacts that have been found at various sites in the Mediterranean basin. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This
