This paper describes the chemical sourcing of 53 obsidian artefacts from Colle Cera, a large Neolithic village located in Loreto Aprutino (Abruzzo, Central Italy). Trace element analyses were carried out by the LA-ICP-MS method, an almost non-destructive analytical technique, capable of chemically characterising and establishing the definite origin and source area of archaeological artefacts. Twenty-seven trace and rare earth elements were analysed for each sample and their definite provenance was assigned: two sources in the peri-Tyrrhenian area, the islands of Lipari and Palmarola
