What in the world would you call this??

Extremely sharp tip, looks worked to a point-do you agree? Seems to thick for a point but it is uniface-made from a flake it seems. Made of Burlington chert.

Possibly a scraping tool?

Actually, on the reverse side there is some thinning around the tip. I wonder if this was going to be a point that they never finished....?

I'd call it a flake. Flakes were often used as tools with no modifications and any wear pattern would show if it was utilized or not.

I see the work on it, I would call it a type of graver

 

[Charl]

It looks like it could be used as a graver, or as a scriber.

I keep reading that gravers are Paleo but I would suspect that they were used all thru antiquity. Would you agree?

 

[creekhunter]

I agree that most time periods used them
