dc.description.abstractThis paper details the use of obsidian sourcing to reconstruct networks of interaction (or 'communities of practice') amongst populations of south-eastern Anatolia and the Near East in the context of 'Neolithisation' during the late 11th-early 10th millennia BC. EDXRF was used to elementally characterise 120 artefacts of Epi-Palaeolithic - Pre-Pottery Neolithic A date from Kortik Tepe in south-eastern Anatolia. Four eastern Anatolian sources are represented, mainly Bingal A/B and Nemrut Dag, plus the first evidence for the use of Mus obsidian. When the source data is integrated with the artefacts' techno-typological attributes it is possible to locate the assemblage within an Upper Tigris tradition (with some interesting local differences), which stands in stark contrast to contemporary practices in northern Mesopotamia and the Levant. These local and regional distinctions support recent views of the Neolithic being much more heterogeneous, with a 'mosaic' of community-specific/local traditions of subsistence practices, raw material choices and lithic technologies during the Younger Dryas-Early Holocene.

The MAX Lab was created and is currently financed by a Canada Foundation for Innovation Leader's Opportunity Fund/Ontario Research Fund (awarded to Carter). Diyarbakir Museum and the Turkish Ministry of Culture kindly gave permission to export the artefacts for analysis (all artefacts returned). We also thank Levent Ana, Marion Benz and Steve Shackley for their critical insight, Danica Mihailovic for artefact illustrations and maps, plus the two anonymous reviewers and the editor for their comments and suggestions.en_US
