Abstract

Abstract On the island of New Britain obsidian has been found at Talasea, Mopir, Witori and Rabaul. Research has focussed on Talasea but recent fieldwork shows that, in terms of abundance of flaking quality, obsidian exposures at Mopir rank as equal to any in the Talasea area. As forecast by Specht and Hollis (1982:426), current views on obsidian exploitation and exchange can now be refined.
