Both because it was a valuable commodity in many prehistoric cultures, and because almost every obsidian source has its own unique geochemical portrait, obsidian provides a useful window on mobility and exchange in Prehistory. To that end this volume gathers provenance studies on obsidian from right around the north Pacific rim including Japan, Korea, eastern Russia, north America and Mexico.
