Description
Very thick piece that fits comfortably in the hand when grasped. Edges are very uneven. One side lookes like it is more of a saw-like tool whereas the other side has a rounded out section towards the top that looks like it would perfectly help to smooth out a round wood or bone tool. If not then this could also simply be a large chunk of deboutage from another piece that was made. Not likely, though due to the knapping that someone performed on the rounded top side of the artifact. THe bottom side is almost completely flat with only three or four flakes taken out of it.
