New studies on prehistoric obsidian artifacts and their provenance have been published by Iranian and international researchers during recent years, which showed, that some obsidian tools might have come from an unknown source located in Iran (perhaps Sahand or Sabalan Mountains). The aim of this paper is to discuss recently discovered obsidian sources in north-west Iran. After a brief introduction of recent obsidian studies in Iran the paper addresses some recent filed work and the geochemical analyses of samples from these surveys (from Tajaraq near Miyaneh and Ghizilja near Bostababad in the Bozghoosh Mountains) by using portable ED-XRF analysis. The results suggest that three major obsidian groups can be distinguished, which are classified as group A and B of Tajaraq besides a single group of Ghizilja. The implications of the new results are discussed along with actual limitations and future research directions. |
