In conjunction with our commercial laboratory services, we are also involved in numerous research projects that have captured our interest. In general, we are interested in:
Geochemical surveys of obsidian sources in the western United States.
Geochemical surveys of obsidian in other areas of the world.
Trace element studies of significant artifacts and sites that would otherwise receive little attention.
Exploration of methodologies useful in the interpretation of provenance information.
The use of the Internet to present information related to obsidian studies (e.g., source descriptions, site information, literature resources).
Some of the reports and articles resulting from this research are, or soon will be, available for downloading as Adobe Acrobat .PDF portable documents.

The not so dry Dry Creek drainage, southeastern Oregon, a tributary to the Owyhee River. This well-watered
drainage likely served as a prehistoric travel corridor between the Harney-Malheur Basin and destinations to the east.
