Specialized Flaked tool

[dognose]

After the hafted scraper post by Up-North on Li'l spokeshave, I thought I would post this specialized hafted tool.

It also was found about 1979, in the field that produced a many of these types of points.

Its unique as it has a knapped straight edge which angles. Then on the opposite side a ninety degree edge knapped into the blade edge.



This is a complete relic, no broken edges. Odd I think.

This relic is made of Burlington Flint and is 1 3/4 inches in length.

Great piece... I have a few very similar.
I call them ancient Swiss Army knives... lololol.
The ultimate multi tool.

Are the top two angles cutting edges or is one of them burin flaked (like an impact fracture that runs straight and leaves a 90-degree edge) ?

I like.

Before I gained some knowledge on relics, I used to give away things like and/or leave it behind. Now I know better.
