Document Details : Title: An Obsidian Refitting from Sos Höyük, Eastern Turkey Author(s): KOBAYASHI, Katsuji Journal: Ancient Near Eastern Studies Volume: 44 Date: 2007 Pages: 141-154 DOI: 10.2143/ANES.44.0.2022829 Abstract : Refitting specimens provides great insight for archaeologists. However, refitting is rarely carried out for lithics from Old World archaeological sites of late prehistoric date. In this article, a refitted artefact, consisting of 42 fragments that were excavated from the Late Chalcolithic stratum at Sos Höyük, is examined with a view to characterising the obsidian consumption strategy at the site during the late prehistoric period. Through a comparison with previous studies, some similarities are recognised between this period and the subsequent one. Moreover, observations from the refitted artefact allow a unique obsidian procurement and consumption strategy to be identified. |
