Flake?

Could this be a flake or a discard? Or is it just another natural find? I keep looking down.

Definitely material they used, that appears to be a waste shard.

Flakes will have one side with several chips off and one side that is smooth. I’d say either a broken tool or one they gave up on

Potentially usable as a tool, IMO, but probably not used as there were better ones being produced with it.

FWIW

That's great news. I've got a few other smaller, but similar pieces. It gives me encouragement to keep looking. Thanks!

Looks like a tool...,scraper, most likely.
Utilized, since most flakes were considered potential tools, projectile points, knives, spears, that kind of thing.
And by all things, keep looking down...!

Where there’s a flake there’s points.
