This volume reports on the findings of archaeological surveys and excavations at Batza Téna, an area of Alaska (the northern most state of the United States) that has supplied native people with obsidian, also known as volcanic glass, for over 11,000 years. The discovery of numerous campsites and toolmaking sites show that Batza Téna was part of an ancient trading network in the Far Northwest region of North America.
