Description:

The only source for green obsidian is located at Pachuca in the modern Mexican state of Hidalgo near Teotihuacan. The point was formed by core flaking and refined with pressure flaking. The Pachuca source was controlled by the Teotihuacanos during the Classic period and later by the Toltecas and Aztecas during the Post Classic period.
