Possible rework?

[EDaniels]

So a buddy and I took a walk tonight on a couple new spots. First one is on the flat by the Tioughnioga river the second is up on the hill across the road from the flat maybe 500 yds. Anyway found the smaller one with the broken tip on the flat and the other one on a flat spot in the 2nd spot. At first I just figured it was broke until I got home and got some dirt of it. It looks as if the side has been worked into a scraper or blade of some sort possibly. What are your thoughts if any. Thanks in advance.

The bigger busted up one is a point reworked into a spoke shave before it was broke. Congrats!

Agree with Relic's comment.

Thanks. To be honest I had no idea what a spoke shave was until I looked it up.

A broken point made of good material could live many lives. Spoke shave is a misleading term for artifacts but is what it is.

Yes, I agree.

A nice example of a multi-purpose (or combination) tool.

And nice grey Onondaga chert too.
