PRE-HISPANIC OBSIDIAN PROCUREMENT IN THE TUXTLA MOUNTAINS, SOUTHERN VERACRUZ, MEXICO
View through CrossRef
This paper discusses the results of recent instrumental
neutron-activation analysis (INNA) work identifying the obsidian
sources relied upon in the Tuxtla Mountains of southern Veracruz
in pre-Hispanic times. Our research indicates that Guadalupe
Victoria and, secondarily, Zaragoza obsidian were the main sources
imported to the Tuxtlas during the Early and Middle Formative
periods. In contrast, Zaragoza became the dominant source relied
upon from Late Formative times onward. Data on obsidian color
and raw-material quality make it possible to extend the INAA
results to the entire obsidian assemblage from the Tuxtlas.
