Determination of the source for prehistoric obsidian artifacts from the lower reaches of Kolyma River
Geochemical analysis of 102 obsidian artifacts from the lower reaches of the Kolyma River was performed to understand the provenance of the raw material previously there were no such studies in this region. Sites under investigation belong to the Arctic Neolithic generally dated to ca. 6000e1500 BP....
