Abstract

This chapter examines results from the application of LA-ICP-MS to the identification of sources of obsidian from the Western Pacific. Albeit not non-destructive, the minimal sample size necessary, and the precision and accuracy of analysis for a wide range of major, minor, trace and rare earth elements enables LA-ICP-MS not only to geochemically fingerprint archaeological artifacts to known source locations, but also to provide information about general geological contexts from which these objects derived.
