In any case, no obsidian was tested.<BR/>Obsidian, as you may know, is common on Easter/Rapa Nui, and there's a quarry on Kaho'olawe as well.

Lovely! Do you know or do the two researchers know (have shared or are willing to share) how far afield lithics and/or related debitage have been found from the Pitcairn fine grain basalt and the obsidian quarries there on the Island?
