Remarks

Secondary blackish gray obsidian flake with retouch along its perimeter. Appears to be some bifurcation. About 80 percent of the exterior surface has cortex on it. The configuration suggests that this could have once been a hammerstone that then broke and was repurposed by retouching the flake in such a way that it could be utilized as a tool.
