Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study addressed the question as to the extent to which obsidian hydration dating has validity under the different climatic regimes recorded at the scales of regions and archaeological sites. I performed observations and measurements of obsidian hydration rims on archaeological specimens from the prehistoric sites located in various climatic zones including temperate and subarctic, as well as temperate zone in the Atlantic Ocean. The principal method of observation was thin-section method using the petrographic microscope, while selected hydration rims in a portion of samples were also observed using the secondary ion mass spectrometry that allowed one to measure the depths of hydrogen irons. The major results of this study are that estimated hydration rates not only vary depending on the climatic zones but also change in response to variations in endemic conditions notably obsidian provenances and water contents within a single obsidian provenance.
