	abstract = {<p>A variety of volcanic glasses occur naturally in the mountainous regions of western North America and many were exploited prehistorically by Native people as raw materials for tools, weapons and other implements. Using x-ray fluorescence, we have characterised the trace element composition of volcanic glass source samples collected from northwestern North America, between northern California and eastern Alaska. Our ongoing research includes the characterisation of newly identified volcanic glass sources and the \&$\#$39;sourcing\&$\#$39; of volcanic glass artifacts recovered from archaeological contexts in and near the study area. This paper presents a description of the Simon Fraser University reference library of source characterisations, followed by an example of its application to the volcanic glass artifact assemblage excavated in 1989 and 1990 from the Wilson Butte Cave site, Idaho.</p>},
