Looks like just a big rock to me, but what do I know.

what do I know.

Since you asked, more than anybody here about the materials and artifacts in your tri-state area (at least). And, now that Greg Perino's no longer with us, maybe more than anybody alive. Certainly more than anyone I've ever encountered.

I would note though, if only to play devil's advocate, that large sedimentary rocks with quick-&-crude modifications as choppers (&c.) are coming to be recognised as more the rule on paleo habitation sites than exceptions.

Wish I'd copied the quote & link on that, but it wasn't the kind of factoid I figured would ever come up again.

We don't work any harder than we have to sometimes.
They didn't work any harder then they had to sometimes.
Human nature.
