X Abstract

Les recherches de provenance des obsidiennes de sites paléolithiques et néolithiques connaissent actuellement une grande expansion, notamment par leur intégration dans les études de chaînes opératoires, qui nécessitent de déterminer l’origine de la matière première de séries importantes de pièces archéologiques. Il existe par ailleurs une forte demande de mesures peu à non destructives et éventuellement à effectuer in situ. D’où un certain nombre de développements méthodologiques récents. Le but de cette contribution est d’en présenter le statut actuel / Present trends in obsidian characterization for provenance studiesSourcing studies involving obsidians from Palaeolithic and Neolithic sites are presently undergoing a period of change, notably in terms of the average number of samples analyzed per project, due largely to their integration into the chaînes opératoires approach of lithic technologies. This can entail working with a large number of artifacts from an archaeological context. There is also an ever-increasing demand to employ quasi non-destructive characterization methods and completely non-destructive methods that eventually could be performed in situ. As such, recent methodological advances have taken several directions. The purpose of this short note is to give an overview of these approaches.
