韩国月城洞旧石器时代遗址的黑曜石文物的来源至今仍不确定。先前的一项研究无法确定来源，尽管主要/次要元素浓度，锶同位素组成和K-Ar年龄。我们重新审视了这个问题，并利用激光烧蚀-电感耦合等离子体质谱（LA-ICP-MS）获得了月城洞100件黑曜石文物的地球化学数据。结果发现，所有的岩石都来自一个单一的来源，位于大约700公里外，在朝鲜民主主义人民共和国/中国边境的白头山火山。我们的研究结果突出了黑曜石表征研究的可靠数据分析和质量保证的必要性。
The provenance of obsidian artifacts from the Wolseongdong Paleolithic site in Korea has hitherto been uncertain. A previous study was unable to identify the source despite the availability of major/minor element concentrations, strontium isotopic composition, and K–Ar age. We have revisited the problem, and obtained geochemical data for 100 obsidian artifacts from Wolseongdong using Laser Ablation – Inductive Coupled Plasma – Mass Spectrometry (LA–ICP–MS). It was found that all lithics originated from a single source located around 700 km away, at the Paektusan Volcano on the DPR Korea/Chinese border. Our findings highlight the necessity of reliable data analysis and quality assurance for obsidian characterization studies.
