Abstract The Aeolian island of Lipari, just north of eastern Sicily, was a major geological source of high quality obsidian that was volcanically formed in the Late Mesolithic, followed by another major production in the 1st millennium AD. A much earlier volcanic event on Lipari also produced some obsidian, but not of sufficient quality for tool production. A detailed geological survey of the Lipari obsidian source areas, including assessments of quantity, quality, accessibility, and visual variation was performed, followed by elemental analyses using INAA, LA-ICP-MS, ED-XRF, and pXRF which show that many different groups may be distinguished from each other. Geochemical analyses of several thousand obsidian artifacts from sites in Sicily and southern Italy reveal that two early Holocene subsources, Gabellotto Gorge and Canneto Dentro, were used during the Neolithic and Bronze Ages.

地中海中部新石器时代和青铜器时代的黑曜石的利帕里（Lipari）地质来源和人工制品的生产和分布

摘要西西里岛东部的利帕里风沙岛是优质黑曜石的主要地质来源，其形成于中石器时代晚期，随后是公元一千年的又一主要生产。利帕里（Lipari）上较早的火山事件也产生了一些黑曜石，但质量不足以生产工具。对利帕里黑曜石来源地区进行了详细的地质调查，包括数量，质量，可及性和视觉变化的评估，然后使用INAA，LA-ICP-MS，ED-XRF和pXRF进行了元素分析，结果表明许多不同之处组可以彼此区分。对来自西西里岛和意大利南部地区的数千个黑曜石文物的地球化学分析显示，两个全新世早期子源，Gabellotto Gorge和Canneto Dentro，
