Perfect for flint-knapping and beautiful to behold, obsidian is always an exciting find at an archaeological site. However, as an exchange item with at least 80km between its quarry sources and San Diego County, its discovery also provides valuable information about exchange networks during the last period of our local prehistory.
This presentation by San Diego archaeologist Nikki Falvey will outline how social organization and settlement patterns can be investigated through the examination of obsidian artifact distribution and frequency.
