Description
This object is tan to grey chert that has a strong band of color on one sided and gentle transition on the other. This looks like a reworked Pedernales that has taken the point shape of a Carrolton both of which are middle archaic. It is possible that it represents an overlap in the range boundaries for these two styles. (see rights)

This is a classic example of what amateur collecting (looting) destroys; the associated information about where in the stratigraphy and supported by scientific dating methods does this point fall.
