OBSIDIAN TRADE AT SAND HILL BLUFF.
- Authors
Schlagheck, John
- Abstract
This paper reports new radiocarbon dates, obsidian sourcing, and obsidian hydration data from the 2008 excavations at CA-SCR-7, aka Sand Hill Buff, on the North Central Coast in Santa Cruz County. The 2008 obsidian sample (n = 24) is augmented by surface collected obsidian artifacts (n = 20) recently returned to the public domain. Tentative findings from the only other controlled excavation at Sand Hill Bluff (Jones and Hildebrandt 1990) regarding the nature of obsidian exchange and regional trade affiliations during the Middle period are tested.
