The quarry cluster approach developed for Florida chert sources in the 1980s has continued to be a robust and reliable method of sourcing artifacts. Provenance is based on visually observable textural and paleontologic attributes. Some improvements have been developed using Weights of Evidence Bayesian analysis and Portable X-ray Fluorescence (pXRF).
