I'm thinking some sort of multi purpose tool? It's uniface with a serrated edge on one side, scraper like beveled edge on the other, what do you think?
not sure dude, I was thinking drill when I first found it, took it home and washed it up and still have no clue, the distal end isn't really worked like a drill it's pretty thick, and lacks usewear?
Nice find, Thirty7. I call those kind of drills or"diggers", "thumb drills". I think they were never meant to be halfted to a wood shaft, but just spun with the thumb and fingers. They are harder then a fingernail, and good for such simple things, as gauging out the starter divot, for a fire drill, hearth board. I would say that is a rare find.
many miles inland, but you know there are many large ancient freshwater mussels shells in the area it came from, always love seeing those, it's usually a good indicator of being a site, at least around here. woudl be the perfect tool for opening up shells.
