摘要最近的野外工作在萨卡特卡斯南部和北方哈利斯科发现了一个以前未知的黑曜石源区。在惠齐拉-拉洛贝拉源区，史前使用地表砾石和结核露头的证据包括原材料提取和岩心、大型叶片坯料、粗糙双面体和其他人工制品的生产。不寻常的颜色变化是这些来源的特征，包括一种被描述为“彩虹”黑曜石的带状品种。这个源区的特点相比，杜兰戈的拉诺大黑曜石源区。了解黑曜石分布的来源在马德雷山脉西方的文化的中美洲北部边境的影响和讨论。
Abstract Recent fieldwork has identified a previously unknown obsidian source area in southern Zacatecas and northern Jalisco. Evidence of prehistoric use of surface gravel and nodule outcrops in the Huitzila-La Lobera source area includes raw-material extraction and the production of cores, large blade blanks, rough bifaces, and other artifacts. Unusual variability in color is characteristic of the sources and includes a banded variety described as “rainbow” obsidian. Characteristics of this source area are compared to the Llano Grande obsidian source area in Durango. Implications for understanding the distribution of obsidian from sources in the Sierra Madre Occidental to the cultures of the north Mesoamerican frontier are presented and discussed.
