The Carpathian obsidian samples from the Slovakian part of the Zemplín – Tokaj area have been studied by means of fission-track dating (FT) and geochemistry to better understand the provenance of the archaeological obsidians from the Central Europe realm. New FT obsidian ages obtained by the isothermal plateau method (ITPFT) are in a narrow time interval between 12.45 ± 0.45 and 11.62 ± 0.25 Ma, and indicate a short-time monogenic volcanic evolution rather than a long-lasting volcanism over the 16–10 Ma period, as was previously thought. Geochemically, these obsidians belong to the silica-rich, peraluminous, high-potassium, calc-alkaline rhyolite series volcanic rocks with a ferroan character which were derived by multi-stage magmatic processes from mixed mantle and crustal sources during subduction in a volcanic arc tectonic setting. Chemical composition of the Carpathian obsidians clearly exhibits a common similarity among all examined localities (Brehov, Cejkov, Hraň, and Viničky). A comprehensive provenance study, including physical properties of the obsidians, confirms a general congruence within the studied obsidians and the use of common provenance labelling, such as Carpathian-1 (C1) for the Slovakian – Zemplín area obsidians, is recommended.

已经通过裂变径迹（FT）和地球化学研究了采普林-托卡伊地区斯洛伐克部分的喀尔巴阡黑曜石样品，以更好地了解中欧地区考古黑曜石的起源。通过等温高原方法（ITPFT）获得的新的FT黑曜石年龄在12.45±0.45和11.62±0.25 Ma之间的狭窄时间间隔内，这表明在16–10时间内有短时间的单基因火山演化，而不是持久的火山活动。马时期，如先前所想。从地球化学上看，这些黑曜岩属于富含铁硅石，钙铝，高钾，钙碱性流纹岩系列火山岩，具有铁质特征，这些火山岩是通过多阶段岩浆作用从火山弧构造俯冲过程中从地幔和地壳混合源中提取而来的。环境。喀尔巴阡黑曜石的化学成分显然在所有检查过的地区（Brehov，Cejkov，Hraň和Viničky）之间都表现出相同的相似性。一项全面的物产来源研究（包括黑曜石的物理特性）证实了所研究的黑曜石内部的普遍一致性，并使用了共同的物产标签，例如推荐斯洛伐克-Zemplín地区的黑曜石为Carpathian-1（C1）。
