I guess the top two would be thumb scrapers. The bottom one is a little different. It is nearly 5/8" thick at big end and maybe 3/8 on smaller end. Maybe some kind of multi-tool. It was maybe used on one end for some tasks and the other end for others. It is worked around the entire stone.

Questions about these two. They were picked up in different locations, but are nearly identical in the way they are made. They must have had a specific purpose. Note very similar in shape from top view ....

Nice Bravo, good selection of lithics down your way. I could be wrong but those thinner scrapers look like preforms to me, the largest, dark colored piece looks like a cache blade imo. Thanks for sharing.

Man you just keep pulling out the nice stuff. Those are great pieces and I am like everyone else and think some are more than just scrapers/knifes. Very Nice Bravo

The more a guy learns, the more you realize you don't know. Cache blades, quarry blanks, preforms. Cortex, uniface, biface yeow :help:... I think I just gave birth to a ....Geologist. (take off of Rodney Dangerfield) :laughing9:
