It's a dandy artifact for sure. What chase said is probably as good a guess as any. A hoe, an axe? It was likely hafted in a manner so that there was a pointed end and a broad end that could be used depending on what the job required. This is just a guess.

I'd agree with Greg and Ron, too. That's some pretty material and work. Love those base thinning flakes! Biface/Preform. That one large flake in the middle is probably the one that nixed it for finishing they way he wanted it. Still could be used a I've seen "mistakes" made on preforms on all phases of production and every part of a point. These guys were good and quick with making points or they died. At worksites they went through tons of material. Here's what they said, "AAARGH DAYUM!!!!...... Next."Professor Shellman
