Remarks

Stemmed obsidian spearhead from EB1 layer of T30. Large and heavy, this example is less symmetric and balanced than the one from T17/18. One corner appears to have have snapped off in production resulting in an asymmetric shape. The other edge seems to be flatter, more knife like, than the more rounded side with the snapped corner, suggesting it may have been abandoned as a spear and reshaped into a knife. Midline of ridge also positioned just behind the knife like edge rather than down the center from point to stem.
