Abstract

Quatre types d'obsidiennes du complexe volcanique du Monte Arci (Sardaigne) ont été utilisées par les néolithiques dans le secteur nord-tyrrhénien de la Méditerranée occidentale. Une carte de leurs gisements naturels, des sources primaires (roches mères) jusqu'à des gîtes secondaires parfois relativement éloignés, dans les plaines qui entourent le massif, est présentée. Plus de mille (1457) spécimens ont été caractérisés optiquement, dont ~15% également par leur composition élémentaire, déterminée par microsonde électronique, activation neutronique ou analyse sous faisceau d'ions. Les résultats montrent qu'il faudra dorénavant, dans les études de provenance d'obsidiennes archéologiques, prendre en compte les sources secondaires, jusqu'ici largement négligées.
