I found an artifact in my yard recently. I'm not an expert but it appears to be of Native origin. It bears a resemblance to an arrowhead but doesn't looks different from the others I've seen. Can anyone explain what it is if anything at all?

Nice find for the yard for sure.
Good eye.
It's what's called a unifaced scraper...by the looks of it it may have been Hafted "attached" to a handle. Turtle back scraper is what some call ones like that... except for that small section that looks like a stem for hafting.

Yes, great find for in your yard. That that probably means there's more there.
 

Welcome to the site!
 

Thank you for the help and support. I'm thinking snout trying to excavate part of the yard now. The town I live in was once Chickasaw land so it would be interesting to see if there is anything left behind
