| Abstract: | Excavations at the site of East Chia Sabz in western Iran uncovered deposits dating from the 9th through 7th millennium BC showing evidence of obsidian use. A total of twenty obsidian artefacts was found at the site and they were analyzed by X-ray fluorescence and neutron activation analysis. The results show all of the obsidian found at East Chia Sabz came from the Nemrut Da? source in southeastern Turkey located a distance of almost 750 km from East Chia Sabz. The results and their archaeological implications are discussed. |
