Sourcing Chert Artifacts with pXRF
<p>My <a href="https://www.depts.ttu.edu/hms/geoheritage.php" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">geoheritage research program</a> in the Heritage and Museum Sciences Program at the Museum of Texas Tech University involves trying new methods to source chert lithic artifacts more easily, to better understand how geodiversity influenced past hunter-gatherers.</p>
<p>I found an interesting new chapter by Khori Newlander in the 2023 book <a href="https://uofupress.lib.utah.edu/sourcing-archeological-lithic-assemblages/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Sourcing Archeological Lithic Assemblages</a>, called: “The Promise and Challenge of Sourcing Chert Artifacts in the North American Great Basin”</p>
<p>Newlander’s research uses pXRF technology to source chert artifacts in the Great Basin region of the United States.</p>
