Abstract: We show that if $mathcalE$ is a subset of the $d$-dimensional vector space over a finite field $mathbbm{F}_q$ ($dgeq3$) of cardinality $|mathcalE|geq(d-1)q^{d-1}$, then the set of volumes of $d$-dimensional parallelepipeds determined by $mathcalE$ covers $mathbbm{F}_q$. This bound is sharp up to a factor of $(d-1)$ as taking $mathcalE$ to be a $(d-1)$-hyperplane through the origin shows.
