The Callahan Divide in West Texas was a major source area of high-quality Edwards chert for Paleoindian and later human populations in the Southern Plains. Relict and modem hydrologic and biotic patterns across the divide suggest the existence of tenninal Pleistocene interconnected ponds and marshes, probably having abundant plant and animal resources. Recent stock pond construction in the divide has resulted in exposure of a small Clovis quarry-workshop site near the headwaters of an arroyo system. A machinery-damaged workshop feature containing an association of cores, large blade-flakes, a bifacial point prefonn, and a hammerstone has yielded significant infonnation about early production stages of Clovis stone tools
