And so it is with the topic of this discussion - obsidian: we had absolutely no idea how crucial this 'black stuff' was to the spread of farming from Anatolia and the fertile crescent into Europe until really examining the narrative of how the early pioneers first ventured out in to the Aegean and crossed to mainland Greece. Our research has turned up all sorts of surprises and we hope you all enjoy this brief overview of the power of the trade in obsidian.
