Primitive broken drills? Thoughts

[HillBilly244]

I've been finding these on the site I've been hunting. I thought they were just random flakes at first but they look like broken drills, I find too many that are similar to be random. Thoughts?

Looks like a couple could have been starts that broke, but none have any base work for a shaft?

They look like debitage to me. I would need to see them live to be sure, but I see a couple platforms on the end you're thinking is broken. Are they uniface, and is there a bulb of percussion present?

Micro lithic and debitage. They weren’t break/flaking rocks for the fun of it. They had a project or job they needed to do and were always making/breaking for tools.
I think as you keep laying stuff out and sorting and studying it all you will see some patterns. some lithic pieces just brake that way. Others were broken that way on purpose.
You have a good spot/area going there

Looks like to me about 4 were reduced to drill forms while the rest went to gravers. Not uncommon to find related drill forms and gravers on the same site. They all talk a story.
