Small Uniface Knife/Blade?

catherine1 · Sep 30, 2011

Found this small knife/blade today (1.5). The back side is flat with a little work. Most of my farm finds have been woodland/hopewell-Southern Ohio. Would you call this rock uniface?

I don't know if I would call it uniface or not :dontknow:

. It looks like the edge might be worked on the right side in the bottom photo. That is a nice little blade :hello:

nice blade!...looks almost like a teardrop type point I find from time to time but more unifaced,well id call that about 75% uniface on the back side as it has been worked a little.

That piece has great color, the flaking in the first photo is really great. Nice piece.

That is a nice find. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for replying! I would guess it is woodland as it has spotty mineral deposits. The base is also worked at the bottom on the flat side. I find so many chips, flakes and cores that it get confusing sometimes. But the shape/flaking always reveals worked artifacts. Happy Posting!!
