Nice scraper.
 

Base of a broken point, most likely paleo.

Wow really?? Never would have thought paleo...what style you think?

Not saying for sure, but it could be the base of a paleo point. It appears to be quite thin, and it also probably broke during it's manufacture due to some unfinished flaking. Photo of posssible finished point? folder 2 002.webp And it could be part of a broken knife.
 

It's the base of a broken Knife or Point, but I doubt it's Paleo. I don't see any Paleo flaking or grinding in any of those pics.

I was leaning towards scraper as well just thought I was odd that it was perfectly square and sharpened on 3 sides never found on like it before thanks for the help guys!

G.R. is right... I just didn't explain..I think it was probably repurposed from knife to scraper. I would guess archaic.
