Description: A cluster of obsidian pieces including two obsidian tools - one largish flake and a large, crude end-scraper 

Discussion: 4990 was a discrete deposit of a large obsidian flake and a large, crude end-scraper within the matrix of the floor deposits contained in unit 4987 in the 'dirty' south east corner of building 23/ space 178. They were not apparently held within a cut, and appear to have been dumped along with the other waste material that was within this layer.
