Abstract

Eight pieces of obsidian from the site were analyzed by neutron activation. Comparison with analyzed samples from the Anatolian sources suggests an origin in the GÃ¶llu Dag area. The main diagnostic elements were rare earth elements, and the eight samples analyzed have a very narrow composition range. -- AATA
