Experimental and archaeological data are used here to determine aspects of prehistoric lithic technology represented at three sites within the obsidian quarry complex in Newberry Crater. These data indicate that several different sets of technological activities occurred at sites within the crater; however, all involved reduction of obsidian into large-sized bifacial artifacts.
