Regional Modeling of Obsidian Procurement in the American Southwest
An Examination of the Effects of Temperature Variation on the Hydration Characteristics of Two California Obsidians
New hydration rates are proposed for obsidians from the Casa Diablo and Coso source areas in California's Sierra Nevada range. Obsidians from these two sources were used extensively throughout central California and western Nevada during prehistoric times. The new hydration rates presented here differ from earlier California hydration rates in that they account simultaneously for the effects of chemical source variation, climatic regime, and soil…
A New Obsidian Hydration Rate in the Greater Southwest
A new obsidian hydration rate is proposed for archaeological obsidian derived from the Antelope Wells source area located along the international boundary between the United States and Mexico near the Antelope Wells border crossing in Hidalgo County, New Mexico. Prehistorically, obsidian from this source was used extensively in the region lying between Casas Grandes, Chihuahua and Lordsburg, New Mexico. As the Antelope Wells source is the only on…
An Initial Examination of Prehistoric Obsidian Exchange in Hidalgo County New Mexico
Recent archaeological surveys in southwestern New Mexico have produced a large volume of data relating to the prehistoric procurement and exchange of obsidian from the Antelope Wells source in Hidalgo County, New Mexico. The volume of these data, together with the relative geological isolation of this obsidian source, has produced a situation in which the regional exchange of this obsidian can be observed in the complete absence of competing obsi…
A Revision in the Government Mountain-Sitgreaves Peak, Arizona, Obsidian Hydration Rate
A revised hydration rate for obsidian from the central Arizona Government Mountain-Sitgreaves Peak source area is presented. Data obtained since 1975 suggest that the hydration characteristics of obsidian from 1 to 6,000 years B.P. can best be predicted using a simple squared diffusion model. This new rate improves the accuracy of previously reported rates and, consequently, will increase the usefulness of obsidian hydration dating throughout cen…
A New Obsidian Hydration Rate for Certain Obsidians in the American Southwest
A new hydration rate is presented for the Government Mountain-Sitgreaves Peak obsidian source in Arizona. It is based on an analysis of hydration measurements from a series of independently dated obsidian artifacts from that source. Since obsidian obtained from Government Mountain-Sitgreaves Peak was widely traded in the prehistoric Southwest, the new hydration rate should provide archaeologists working in many parts of the Southwest with a relia…
