Two sources of archaeological obsidian that have appeared in analyses of archaeological assemblages in the Southwest but whose location has remained unknown have now been located, mapped, and chemically characterized. These sources, Bull Creek in western Arizona near the well-known Burro Creek source and the Bear Springs Peak source in the southern Jemez Mountains of northern New Mexico, solve two geoarchaeological riddles and in the case of Bear Springs Peak could signal potential cultural ties between the Jemez (Walatowa) and Zuni nations during the seventeenth century
