Haha... Well I don't think it's a pressure flake and there's definitely no fluting..hehe... It does look like some small chips were taken off of that one edge to create a quick tool.

Well even with no fluting, it resembles a channel flake anyway.

At best, I'd call it a possible utilized flake.

Looks like waste flake, it's just a sign that there may have been a camp site in the area. I have found some areas where you could fill several wheelbarrows full of those types of flakings.

I agree. It's a good sign that the area has potential archaeological evidence. Hard to say if was ever a tool but I think that area might have some better evidence nearby.
