Unusual shaped artifacts

[Rockdog]

I thought it would be cool to do a thread for unusual shaped artifacts. I'll start it out with a couple I've always liked and let's see what you got. The first one I've always liked just because of the work they did on the tip. The second one is really hard to get a picture of to show you what's unusual about it. It is completely twisted and warped. Not sure how they worked it that way but they did. Must have been from a crooked flake.

Here's a different view of the black one. I am holding the tip down flat so you can see how twisted it is.

Most of mine are scrapers, drills and a couple of points. I’m not sure how they were used or why they were made.

I think a couple of those were made for shooting around corners. I don't know what the heck rhat 4th one in the first set is.

It’s a ugly drill
A pretty scraper next to it but it’s curved hard to see in the picture

It’s worked on all edges but yet small.
