What makes you think it's Paleo? Did it come from a known Paleo site?

I'd send it to uniface. He has encyclopedic knowledge of old tools, especially all things ...you guessed it, uniface. Post some pics if you can though, I'm sure the collective brain power here can narrow it down for you.

round here we chuck scrapers and other busted up junk in a bucket or a box, some get left in the creek/feild they are not worth carrying round. any peice flint/chert could of been a scraper, they just aint got no intrest here. anybody want a bunch? I gotta bunch. they aint worth the shipping though!!lol!

**Neogeo** · Sep 22, 2009, 08:15 PM

If ya want to get rid of some ,I will pay for shipping..I will mix them into the sets that I give the new comers..Let me know please..

Ill dump my buckets and boxes and sort out the "just flint" from the scrapers and see what it all weighs, I gotta another member wanting some too. nobody round here buys them so there just dead weight, allotta weight. Ill get back at both of you.
