A.J. Vonarx recorded attributes of obsidian bifacial tools. All appear to be projectile points.

DATASET Barbara Stark.

This file contains information relating to obsidian biface points (code 61) from PALM 2 survey. Data were recorded by A.J. Vonarx, but variable documentation is not written.

DOCUMENT Full-Text Barbara Stark.

This file consists mainly of information recorded by Lynette Heller concerning the variables employed in obsidian analysis, with later clarifications by Barbara Stark. It included two addenda, one by Lynette Heller grouping codes according to production technology, and the other noting some special circumstances affecting a few obsidian collections. The obsidian files from PALM 1 and PALM2 are not constructed the same way (PALM 2 is non-relational), and the obsidian coding is not thoroughly...

Lynette Heller recorded these data for obsidian cores from Palm 1 excavations in 1987.

DATASET Barbara Stark.

These data for obsidian cores were recorded by Lynette Heller, for cores from PALM 1 survey. PALM 2 core data were recorded, but not entered into a database. .

DATASET Barbara Stark.

Lynette Heller recorded these cortex occurrences for PALM 1 survey obsidian.

DATASET Barbara Stark.

Lynette Heller recorded occurrences of cortex on excavated obsidian from 1987 excavations in this file.

DATASET Barbara Stark.

Obsidian from feature 1756, first recorded during Palm 1, was analyzed by Lynette Heller following recollection of the mound during Palm 2. The file is non-relational. The reanalysis uses Palm 2 variables. The Palm 1 collection and analysis is in a separate file.

DATASET Barbara L. Stark.

Obsidian from the 1987 Palm excavations, variables recorded in form 1 by Lynette Heller.

DATASET Barbara Stark.

Obsidian from Palm 1 excavations was recorded by Lynette Heller, variables from form 2.

DATASET Barbara Stark.

Obsidian was recorded by Lynette Heller for 1987 excavations, variables in form 3.

DATASET Barbara Stark.

Obsidian from 1987 excavations was recorded by Lynette Heller, variables on form 4.

DATASET Barbara Stark.

Obsidian from PALM 1 survey, form 1 variables, recorded by Lynette Heller. This file includes all Palm 1 survey years, including 1989, a project by Stuart Speaker.

DATASET Barbara Stark.

Obsidian from PALM 1 survey, recorded by Lynette Heller, variables on form 2. Palm survey 1986-1989.

DATASET Barbara Stark.

Obsidian from Palm 1 survey, recorded by Lynette Heller, variables on form 3. Includes all seasons of Palm survey, 1986-1989.

Obsidian from Palm 1 survey, recorded by Lynette Heller, variables on form 4. Survey 1986-1989.

DATASET Barbara Stark.

This dataset is non-relational, containing information about obsidian artifacts. The PALM 2 obsidian file was created by Lynette Heller, and it is only partly documented. A separate file contains summary weight information, and two other files contain details about obsidian bifacial tools and retouched tools. Obsidian (and chert) bifaces were analyzed by AJ Vonarx, but that dataset is not yet well documented.

DATASET Barbara Stark.

Lynette Heller recorded instances of hinge blade removals for PALM 1 excavation obsidian.

DATASET Barbara Stark.

Lynette Heller recorded instances in survey collections of hinge removals for PALM 1, mainly for prismatic obsidian blades. A separate file has information on excavation obsidian hinges. Although hinges may reflect raw material irregularities, in most cases they reflect insufficient or misdirected force in blade or flake detachment, which for blades, produced a rounded or blunt distal termination. In Palm 2, hinge information was recorded under "comments."

DATASET Barbara Stark.

This file contains the classification of Palm 2 obsidian Isolated Finds. Obsidian from regular collections is in a different file.

DOCUMENT Full-Text Uploaded by: Chelsea Walter

Departing from the political economy perspective taken by the vast majority of volumes devoted to Mesoamerican obsidian, Obsidian Reflections is an examination of obsidian's sociocultural dimensions—particularly in regard to Mesoamerican world view, religion, and belief systems. Exploring the materiality of this volcanic glass rather than only its functionality, this book considers the interplay among people, obsidian, and meaning and how these relationships shaped patterns of procurement,...

DATASET Barbara Stark.

This file contains attribute information about obsidian retouched tools from the PALM 1 and 2 survey. It is a non-relational file created by AJ Vonarx for her University of Arizona Master's degree, and it is only partly documented at present.

DATASET Barbara Stark.

This file has information about obsidian scrapers recovered in survey and excavation during the PALM project. Isolated Find scrapers are in a separate file.

DATASET Barbara Stark.

This file concerns obsidian scrapers recovered as Isolated Finds (not in a designated collection area).
