Resumen de Analyses of obsidians from the late-chalcolithic levels of Arslantepe (Malatya)

M. Fornaseri, L. Malpieri, A. M. Palmieri, A. Taddeucci

• The AA. illustrate the results of the analyses, by fluorescence X-ray and refractive index, of obsidians both from source areas of central and eastern Anatolia and from late-chalcolithic levels of Arslantepe (Malatya, Turkey).

  These levels are characterized by a large prevalence of eastern obsidians from many source areas; therefore their evidence fit in the pattern of diffusion outlined for the Chalcolithic by previous authors.
