Gérard Poupeau et al., « The Monte Arci obsidian: new fingerprinting approaches in provenance studies », HAL-SHS : archéologie, ID : 10670/1.r0ydux
Obsidians of the four Monte Arci geochemical groups relevant to Neolithic provenance studies were characterized by Mössbauer (MS) and infrared (IRS) spectroscopies, Raman microspectroscopy (RMS), magnetic properties (MP), electron spin resonance (ESR) and particle induced X-ray emission (PIXE). We show that these methods can discriminate, in addition to obsidians from other Western Mediterranean islands, the SA, SB and SC Sardinian groups (MS, MP, IRS) and eventually the SB1 and SB2 subgroups (MRS, ESR, PIXE).
