与世界许多地方一样，安第斯山脉中部的史前民族寻找火山玻璃作为石器工艺品的首选材料。他们对精细碎料的喜好导致黑曜石在高地和邻近海岸的广大地区进行了万年的交换。尽管黑曜石很稀有，但在秘鲁海岸和高地的许多已知最古老的遗址中都发现了黑曜石制成的文物（Burger 和 Asaro 1978；MacNeish 等人 1981；Sandweiss 等人 1998）。在现在的秘鲁中部和北部，一种被称为 Quispisisa 的单一化学类型黑曜石是整个史前序列中使用的主要黑曜石类型（Burger 和 Asaro 1977）。 Quispisisa 型黑曜石的地质来源于 1999 年位于 Hatunrangra 附近。这一发现是从万卡维利卡的 San Genaro 地区一直到阿亚库乔的 Huanca Sancos 地区的搜索的顶峰。本文介绍了这一发现的历史，并对源区进行了初步描述，并讨论了其位置的影响。
As in many parts of the world, the prehistoric peoples of the Central Andes sought out volcanic glass as a preferred material for lithic artifacts. Their taste for fine chipping material led obsidian to be exchanged over a vast area of the highlands and adjacent coast for over ten thousand years. Despite its rarity, artifacts made of obsidian have been recovered in many of the oldest known sites in both the coast and highlands of Peru (Burger and Asaro 1978; MacNeish et al. 1981; Sandweiss et al. 1998). In what is now central and northern Peru, a single chemical type of obsidian known as Quispisisa was the main type of obsidian utilized throughout the prehistoric sequence (Burger and Asaro 1977). The geologic source of Quispisisa type obsidian was located near Hatunrangra in 1999. This discovery was the culmination of a search which led from the San Genaro region of Huancavelica to the Huanca Sancos region of Ayacucho. This paper offers an account of the history of this find as well as offering a preliminary description of the source area and a discussion of the implications of its location.
