Any opinions on the channel flaked piece?

 

[uniface]

Opinion (solicited) :

Nr. 1 : preform abandoned when the end-thinning didn't reach the hump in the center and take it off.

Nr. 2 : So much for the rubbish about how frost always takes fingernails off artifacts.

What the heck are those little black rectangles on the last one ? ! ?

Some kind of fossil void, I've seen it before in a raw cobble of flint I cracked open, same exact pattern. Freeze and thaw did a number on the first two for sure.

I agree w/ 37 on the last piece, those small rectangles are from the dissolution of either aragonite or calcite from a fossil. Gives the artifact character, haha.

Thanks, these came off a high spot in a field that's located between a spring and a small stream.
