摘要: Abstract Obsidian, a naturally occurring glass and rare resource, appears in the archaeological record of Cyprus at same time when human populations establish permanent settlements across island. Geological sources obsidian do not occur on so material had to be procured elsewhere then introduced eastern Mediterranean Recent geochemical analyses (pXRF) assemblages dating Early Holocene (8900–5200 Cal BCE) demonstrate that derives from multiple exogenous geological sources. Here we use geospatial computational approach, namely Least Cost Paths Analysis, address circulation once it arrived By doing so, aim to: (a) determine potential routes/optimal paths via which circulated island, (b) understand how these early communities used their landscape build social networks exchange goods, (c) compare may have differed earlier exploitation locales first visitors reach Terminal Pleistocene.
