Hi There. Please forgive the low quality images, but looking for your help. Part of me thinks this may be a drill, but im not quite sure. The tip is worked all the way around. It looks like low grade chert.
what would you call this?
thanks

If its anything used I would say its a base to a broken knife. In other words the blade edge is missing if it was anything.
 
Looks like what I would call a utilized flake judging from all the edge work.

Is that appendage flaked all the way around?
 
Quito-yes, all the way as far as it could go until it got to the low grade chert.
Thanks
 
Looks like a small gouge.
 
I think Quito has the right idea. Good eye and where ever you found that you will find more.:icon_thumright:
 
Thanks everyone. What were these used for? Can these be dated to a culture?
