Eccentric flint (archaeology)
An eccentric flint is an elite chipped artifact of an often irregular ('eccentric') shape produced by the Classic Maya civilization of ancient Mesoamerica.〔SFU Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology.〕 Although generally referred to as "flints", they were typically fashioned from chert, chalcedony and obsidian.〔

Eccentric flints were first categorised by western archaeologists in Belize in the first half of the 20th century,〔Hruby 2003, pp.507–508.〕 when they were identified as ceremonial in nature.〔Hruby 2003, p. 508.〕 The objects are generally found in the eastern portion of the central Maya area, in the Petén Department of Guatemala and in neighbouring Belize,〔Meadows 2003〕 with few in the west and the Yucatán Peninsula.〔Thompson 1970, 1990, pp.147–148.〕 Very few have been recovered from the Guatemalan Highlands and it is unlikely they were ever manufactured there.〔Thompson 1970, 1990, p.147.〕 Small obsidian eccentrics have been found at the great metropolis of Teotihuacan in the Valley of Mexico.〔Thompson 1970, 1990, p.149.〕
