title = "The ostentatious use of obsidian in Bronze Age Mesopotamia, Anatolia and the northern Levant",
abstract = "Obsidian is mostly known for its use in prehistoric times as a tool stone. By the MiddleBronze Age, it had virtually gone out of use for such purposes, but it was used along with other exotic materials to make highly crafted vessels and was a valued material. A review of the origin of the obsidian and the evidence (mainly from older excavations) for the manufacture and use of these vessels suggests localised responses within a frame of wider and developing relations during this period.",
