Curious flint, and ideas ?

[Lone Star]

Noticed the similarity while going thru broke stuff from different sites. They all have a little angled padooba off the end. Any ideas ? Thanks, Lone Star

Etchers or perforators maybe?

I've got countless pcs like those, perforators seems the likely choice. Do a search on burin tips they are similiar tools I believe. The burin tip was manufactured throughout ancient times and is a pretty interesting tool to research, I'm sure most hunters have quiet a few, I found one last week that was interesting.

Western Artifacts has a similiar piece listed as a Paleo multi-purpose tool; scraper, knife and graver tool......

Listed under Paleo 1, item PA129

Thats great. I appreciate ya'lls replys. I think the graver form makes sense. There were lots of hide scrapers and choppers found with two of them. The large polished one was a lone find on a gravel bar in the Colorado River near San Saba. Thanks Gang Lone Star
