尽管黑铁矿来源长期以来一直是重建过去社会经济互动的一种强大手段，但破坏性技术的使用限制了大多数研究仅对每个遗址的少数文物进行分析。非破坏性方法允许对更多的材料进行表征，从而为我们的考古解释提供了更可靠的数据。在这里，我们报道了一项这样的研究，使用EDXRF和SEM-EDS分析了来自两个叙利亚新石器时代遗址Tell Aswad和Qdeir 1的组合。这项研究首次证明了扫描电子显微镜-能谱分析在区分冰晶L A和Nemrut Dağ来源方面发挥了重要作用，而电子X射线荧光分析的快速使得能够分析更多统计上有效的人工制品，提供了更好的组装印象。它使我们能够绘制Tell Aswad的原材料采购的历时模式图，以及之前Qdeir 1对黑铁矿的较小规模分析中没有记录的详细原材料。
While obsidian sourcing has long represented a powerful means of reconstructing past socio-economic interaction, the use of destructive techniques restricted most studies to analysing only a few artefacts per site. Non-destructive methods allow the characterization of much more material, thus providing more robust data upon which to base our archaeological interpretations. Here we report on one such study using EDXRF and SEM-EDS to analyse assemblages from Tell Aswad and Qdeir 1, two Syrian Neolithic sites. The study demonstrates for the first time that SEM-EDS can play an important role in discriminating Bingöl A and Nemrut Dağ sources, while the rapidity of EDXRF permits the analysis of a more statistically valid number of artefacts, providing a better impression of the assemblage. It enabled us to chart diachronic patterns in raw material procurement at Tell Aswad and detailed raw materials not recorded in a previous smaller-scale analysis of obsidian from Qdeir 1.
