Chumash blade/knife tool?
I found this in the Santa Barbara, Ca area. Does anybody have an idea as to what it may be? One side to me definitely shows signs of being worked by man but the other side looks untouched. I don't know enough yet about artifacts yet to determine, but I'm learning!

Agreed. It also fits into the Limace category, a uniface slug shaped scraper.
