Enough to be anything?

[Older The Better]

Really borderline, would anyone call it a tool? Found on top of a bluff buried in soil. If it wasn’t so chunky and ugly I’d probably call it a flake tool but I can’t decide if there’s enough there to escape getting tossed in with the debitage

Just a discarded piece imo

Pretty thick to be something used.

We call things like this "beef pinto" because the jar we throw them in still has the beef pinto chili label, lol. Worked enough to keep for us, but probably just discard? IMO.

Kind of where I’m at with it. Thanks for the thoughts. I might keep it separate from the flakes but it doesn’t make the cut to be with the broken bifaces

I think it's a quick fix. The tool that they needed at that moment for something so they worked it down on that edge for a scraper or knife purposes and then threw it away. I'd keep it. Too much work to just be a chunk of core.

Looks natural to me, random chips broken off. Is hill still natural or has it been farmed?
