OBSIDIAN RESEARCH IN TENNESSEE AND ALABAMA
By Mark Norton.
"Seven obsidian artifacts found in Tennessee and Alabama were sent to the Northwest Research Obsidian Studies Laboratory in Corvallis, Oregon for x-ray fluorescence sourcing and hydration measurement tests. The results indicate obsidian was traded into our region from sources in California, Nevada, Oregon, and Arizona possibly as early as the Late Archaic period (ca. 2000 BC)."
Napa and Sonoma projectiles found, according to report in Tennessee Archeology.
