Here’s a few other recoveries that seem to be somewhere between a tool and a classic flake maybe I look too deep but I’m curious what others think… all pieces found on a bluff under an overhang, in limestone debris and loess.
A. Can’t decide if it was part of a uniface scraper, or if it’s a very late removal from a biface. Seems to me like it was retouched after removal
B. Again I would go debitage, but there seems to be some attempt to work the backside which tells me they came back to it. Still it doesn’t really resemble much of a tool
C. This last one doesn’t have much fine flaking except maybe tiny serrations on one margin but it has the same general form of many better made scrapers from the same spot. Maybe this is just a very rough example?… maybe it’s just coincidence.
