Nothing I can see says they aren't. But nothing I can see says they are, either.

 

[jeff a]

they used flake tools in all the time periods,what kind of points have you found with them

 

[creek astronaut]

very common mistake by collectors to think unifaced tools were used in paleo times only.as jeff a said they were used in all time periods.looks like you are in a good area to find some good ones.

 

[Th3rty7]

some of those look like whole flake tools, others look like debitage or broken flakes

Hello,
Thanks for looking in on this everyone.
Yes, I agree not for certain. All pieces
have been worked and some polish from
wear have other box for waste flakes.
Found hundreds of work related tools on
this site 12-A-446. All types late paleo
hi-lo to the neo-indian types. I think it
was like migration camp used for a long
period. I surface hunt this 15 years plus
but the ones before me for the last hundred
have most the answers. Yes I learning more
but slow like a little moose. Need something
better pictured let me know. Corner block
end scrapers.

Thanks,
Bruce

Bruce : Count over four along the top from theleft. Fromnumber four, count down three. That item, if it shows re-touching along the thick edge, is probably a paleo tool.

The thing about the endscraper pictures you posted is that the working edges are on the thick end of a tapering flake. Most of the pieces in this assemblage seem to be pretty much uniform in thickness.

Hello uniface,

Here the retake. What you think?
Couple other closer looks, thought
maybe the one was square knife?
Thanks,
Bruce

 

[uniface]

Yep

First one's as I thought -- a sidescraper.

Third one's definitely a graver spur.

The problem with square knives is that, in most places at least, they aren't diagnostic of any particular time period. And they're bifaces.

Nice item !!!!!
