I like finding them also. Mostly scrapers here so the flake blade is always a nice find when they come. Those are very colorful.

What are they again? I see stuff like that all the time.

A lot of them have a worked edge or a very sharp edge some may have been used once only. W.e call them "flake tools" or "utilized flakes" Usually the best quality flints were used.

That is the fun stuff to bring home and study especially if it has some secondary re touch on it. I like that stuff too and had passed it by for many years. Through these forums and good friends I have learned to look a little closer.

Very cool pieces, made from about the best material your state has to offer. A lot of that stuff was highly prized by early knappers.

Here's a few of my better Flake Tools or Uniface Tools. Also a picture of one end of a showcase that has a 6 foot shelf full of these type of Tools.
