They wasted very little, when a point was broken, they re-flaked (knapped) it into something else usable.....Seen a lot of broken points that were turned in to hafted scrapers.....

No its not broke,or it may have,but they re worked it.I have found quite a few of those and an Archi told me they thought they were possibly "blunts",which were used for birds or small game and killed by shock

When we say broke we mean it was broke then re-knapped into a different tool in ancient times.
