Spearhead preform?

[Fossils]

Hi all,
I found this worked rock at a flaking site recently. The base on one side has a stem and one shoulder formed, almost as if they were flaking a projectile point and stopped halfway through. The other end is much less worked and very thick.

I have little knowledge in flint knapping so I don’t really know what a half made point should look like. I had thought that the whole point was made first, and then the stem was added. What do you all think? Spear preform, or maybe something else like a knife?

Front face showing stem and shoulder:


Front edge:


Side edge:


Opposite edge (much thicker):


Back face has a bit less flake work:


Thanks for lookin.

It looks like it was a crude spear/knife point that broke & was discarded. JMHO

Agree is a broken basal section of a stemmed projectile point.

Broken Knife I'd Agree.

Gnarly material -- tough to control. And resharpened previous to breaking.
