Archaeological Obsidian Studies : Method and Theory. Questo articolo non è disponibile.Archaeological Obsidian Studies : Method and Theory

The use of obsidian archaeometry has expanded dramatically in the last 20 years, due partly to technological advances and partly to recognition by archaeologists that archaeometrists provide much more information than mere measurement. Since the mid-70s, however, no book has appeared to document the latest advances. Archaeological Obsidian Studies, the only volume of its kind in print, corrects this situation by presenting the current state of the science, from volcanic glass geochemistry to hydration analysis. Archaeologists, museum professionals, geologists, materials scientists, and students will find this volume to be an indispensable guide to modern archaeometric theory and methodology, both in the lab and in the field.

`Clear and cogent....A useful state-of-the-art account of a rapidly developing field, accessible to a wide range of readers, upper-division undergraduate through professional.'
