Comparative Study of Obsidian Cores Technology from Different Sources in the Mayan Area
Author(s): Edgar Carpio

Summary
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2025: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
The cores for the production of prismatic obsidian blades have different sizes and production techniques in each of the obsidian sources of the Mayan area. Therefore, a comparison is made to find out if these differences are related to the type of knife that is intended to be produced and also to the trade of these artifacts because the size and weight could be due to aspects of long-distance transportation.
