The objectives of the current research are to characterize obsidian sources and lithic archaeological remains in two areas of NW Patagonia, so as to establish spatial distribution and network circulation patterns. Obsidian tools and remains were found in archaeological contexts dated back 3200 years and up to the 16th-18th centuries.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
