Abstract
In human history glass has been a key material. Obsidian, a naturally occurring volcanic glass, played a key role in the technology of many cultures. It is even argued by some historians that the easy availability of obsidian in Central America and the good properties of obsidian tools, made the Bronze Age unnecessary for the Mayans.
