Resharpened to the point where there was nothing left of it.

Very interesting I didn’t think it was any sort of “style” still I guess two doesn’t make a trend, I thought maybe heavily resharpened but it don’t think it’s knapped all the way across the surface, I’ll double check that later when I’m home

I'm gonna go out on a limb here OTB but could that be what's left of a Bell, Calf Creek or Andice--obviously missing the long droopy ears? Just a shot.

I would suggest that it was halfted to a handle and utilized as a specialized tool such as a knife. Maybe used to get into a tight spot.

Good eyes and a distinct possibility given his location.

Later skinning knives of steel ,though much longer ;were upswept to avoid holing hides.
On smaller mammals , that blade might have sufficed quite well. (?)

Or just an ergonomic approach to splitting feathers with a closed handed drag or something.

A neat piece regardless.
