Anyone identify this tool?

Looks like a natural piece of stone that someone recently used as a hammer. Those peck marks on one edge are fresh. That’s the wrong kind of rock for an axe or hammer stone. That’s sedimentary rock. Hardstone tools are made of igneous rocks. Also, paleo Indians didn’t use hardstone tools other than hammer stones.

Sorry, it is natural stone, not artifact.

That's a meat cleaver from the town of Bedrock. It was used to make Stegosaurus Burgers back in the time of Fred Flintstone.
Nice find. It's in remarkable shape for it's age. 
Obviously it's a screwdriver. Early Phillips head culture from the looks of it. Probably used more than 16,000 years ago to adjust hammock tension and children's attitudes.
