I have been following this on some Indian Linguistics sites. Some of the stuff is interesting, some makes my wildest posts seem realistic.
The fact that Lapis Lazuli and Tin are found in Afghanistan and a Tamil variant is spoken in Baluchistan, attracted my interest.

We need an FR topic on the obsidian trade. Hmm... unless there already is one, in which case, why doesn't 'Civ get off his duff and ping everyone to it? ;')
Lapis lazuli trade was quite wide-ranging quite a while ago (found in prehistoric contexts).
