The little-but-very-old stone tool found in southeastern Oregon by scientists with the Oregon Archaeological Field School and the Bureau of Land Management continues to land media coverage.

The discovery of the agate implement, believed to be some 15,800 years old, at the field school's site at Rimock Draw initially drew national attention when the Associated Press followed up on a BLM news release.

The most recent coverage included an interview done by National Public Radio's affiliate station in Los Angeles with the UO's Patrick O’Grady, who supervises the archaeological dig.

Beginning with KPPC's "Take Two" program in Los Angeles, here is a sampling of the coverage:
