I was chatting with a farmer last weekend about access to a creek and was kicking at some flint with my boots as we talked . I saw this and figured it was just a reduction flake. Kicked it several times and it came loose and felt the ripples on the edge with my finger. Stuck it in my pocket and forgot about it.Anyways upon further inspection is was a utilized reduction flake. They worked one edge used the tool for its purpose probably to cut something then threw it away. The cool thing about these kinda tools are they made them in the earliest times and also made them up until the end. I like collecting the tools that show the work and was glad I did not pass this one up. No value in these but still an important artifact that is easily missed. Sometimes you find these large flakes in water hunts but they can look worked from river tumble against rocks. This is just worked on the one side so man did it and make it a true unifaced tool.
Happy Hunting and feel free to share any unifaced tools ( not thumb scrapers) you may have come across.
