The monographL'obsidienne au Proche et Moyen Orient: Du volcan à l'outil(Cauvin et al., 1998) was first published 25 years ago, and between its covers, Poidevn’s (1998) chapter summarized the geochemical and geochronological data for obsidian sources that lie within what is now western, central, and eastern Turkey and the Caucasus. That chapter was a highly valuable resource at the time. A revision, though, is long overdue, and this is the second of two articles (see Frahm, 2023) in which I endeavor to provide an update. Here I focus on the obsidian sources from the Greek islands in the South Aegean Volcanic Arc to the Central Anatolian Volcanic Province in central Turkey. Many more elemental data are available for these sources today than during the 1990s. For example, Poidevin (1998) listed 17 analyses of Nenezi Dağ obsidian from seven different facilities. In contrast, here I summarize 359 measurements of Nenezi Dağ obsidian from 26 different laboratories using a variety of analytical techniques. Consequently, there is an opportunity to derive robust elemental consensus values for such well-characterized obsidian sources. Of the 24 obsidian sources that I summarize in this article, however, not all have been so well studied, and there remains important work to be done, especially in western Turkey.
