Isin-Larsa

Obsidian from two sites in highland Iran, Tal-e Malyan and Tepe Yahya, forms the basis of this investigation. The obsidian artifacts from these two sites were excavated from deposits dating from about 4500 b.c. to A. D. 400. It is, however, the period from 3500 to 1800 b.c., corresponding to the Middle Uruk through the Ur III to Isin Larsa periods in Mesopotamia (J,2), that is of primary concern.
