Rare obsidian artifact found in Edmonton couple’s backyard

49

An Edmonton couple discovered a potential prehistoric artifact in their front yard last year while doing some landscaping.

Jennifer Yeoman and Hector Lomack found a 4.6-pound chunk of obsidian core, which is a type of volcanic glass that doesn’t usually form in Alberta due to the lack of volcanoes.

Archeologists are now investigating the discovery further to determine its historical significance.
