Here are a couple more artifacts sent to me by my friend in Missouri The first one is a bit thick but made of good material and has pressure flaking all the way around the piece. The secnd one is a lot thinner and also has pressure flaking all the way around the piece it also has a bit of cortex on one side.

Re: Preform's or Tool's

They are Tool's..........used as Blades
Heavy duty Late Woodland Blades....................I have similar Tools
They may have started as Preforms but they did not knap out like the person wanted,so they would use them as Blade/knife use
Even when they broke those half knapping them--they were used as Wedge's
Were they found in Central Missouri?
