Description

Chip or flake. Ambiguous form. Black and grey stone. Flake(?) of ambiguous form. No recognizable evidence of being worked. Without context this specimen is void of any valuable information. Because it has been accessioned with a group of tools which are assigned a date based on their form, this object can also be assigned a very broad tentative date range.
