Obsidian Procurement and Distribution in the Tikal-Yaxha Intersite Area of the Central Maya Lowlands
Obsidian from known outcrops in the Mesoamerican highlands has been recovered from lowland Maya sites, providing significant evidence for long-distance procurement and local redistribution of obsidian by the ancient Maya. Prior chemical-characterization studies of obsidian from the lowland Maya area provide a foundation for the study of Tikal-Yaxha obsidian presented here. The samples used in this analysis came from middens associated with 12 res…
Obsidian Sources and Elemental Analyses of Artifacts in Southern Mesoamerica and the Northern Intermediate Area
Obsidian sources, and the proportions of those sources represented in site collections, are known poorly in the southeast mesoamerican periphery. The Honduran sources of La Esperanza and Güinope are described and 'fingerprinted' chemically, and their utilization is explored in selected sites in Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica. Although prehistoric Nicaraguans and Costa Ricans used obsidian from sources as far away as Honduras and Guatemala, m…
Maya Maritime Trade and Sources of Obsidian at San Juan, Ambergris Cay, Belize
San Juan is a small Late and Terminal Classic transshipment point on the north end of Ambergris Cay, Belize. It was well situated to have participated in the Maya maritime trade network that served large population centers on Corozal and Chetumal bays and those communities linked to these bays by the New River and Rio Hondo. A sample of Terminal Classic obsidian was sourced using visual, x-ray fluorescence, and neutron activation techniques. Alth…
Sources of Obsidian from El Mirador, Guatemala
Provenience Analysis of Obsidians from the Central Peten Lakes Region, Guatemala
A set of 296 obsidian artifacts from the lakes area of the Department of Peten, Guatemala, has been provenienced by X-ray fluorescence and neutron activation analysis. The obsidians come from socioeconomic contexts (primarily rural/domestic) and time periods-from the Middle Preclassic period, ca. 800 B.C., up to the time of Spanish contact, A.D. 1525-that have been poorly represented in previous Lowland provenience studies. Thus they provide new …
