ABSTRACT This paper details the characterization of 48 obsidian artifacts from Ein el-Jarba, an Early Chalcolithic site of the southern Levantine Wadi Rabah culture (6th millennium cal b.c.). By melding sourcing data from energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy with the artifacts’ techno-typological specifics, we contrast Ein el-Jarba’s obsidian consumption practices with those of broadly contemporary and earlier communities in the context of the period’s emergent transregional character. The results attest to a major reconfiguration of long-term traditions, with well-known Cappadocian and Lake Van region source materials now supplemented by obsidian from the Caucasus, such material’s most southerly distribution. These diverse resources are believed to have circulated within the same exchange networks, mediated by communities of the Halaf culture to the north. Most of Ein el-Jarba’s obsidian was in the form of pressure blades from a common technical tradition, the implements likely procured ready-made from the well-connected site of Hagoshrim.

跨区域的观点:早期的石器时代的艾因·雅尔巴(以色列北部)的黑曜石消费特征

摘要本文详细介绍了来自黎凡特·瓦迪·拉巴赫(Laditine Wadi Rabah)南部文化(公元前6世纪)早期的石器时代遗址Ein el-Jarba的48个黑曜石文物的特征。通过将来自能量色散X射线荧光光谱法的采购数据与人工制品的技术类型学特征相融合,我们将Ein el-Jarba的黑曜石消费实践与该时期出现的跨区域特征的背景下的当代和早期社区的消费实践进行了对比。结果证明了长期传统的重大重构,著名的卡帕多西亚和凡克湖地区的原始资料现在得到了高加索地区黑曜石的补充,这是该资料最南端的分布。这些多样化的资源被认为在相同的交换网络中流通,由北部的Halaf文化社区介导。艾因·雅尔巴(Ein el-Jarba)的黑曜石大多数是采用一种普通技术传统制成的压力刀片,这些工具很可能是从哈格什里姆(Hagoshrim)相连的地方购买的。
