Worked pieces-need your expertise

autographcollector11 · Dec 28, 2015

I am posting pics of pieces that I believe are worked or were utilized at one point. I am trying to determine how to differentiate worked from natural flaking. I see some flakes that look to be worked but not sure it is simply from wear over the years.
Can you advise if these are legit pieces?
Thanks

I have far less experience than many here so take this for what it is worth. They sure look worked to me and the first one I have no doubts about. I think you are on the right track. I would sure keep looking in that area. Good luck!

Thanks-for the flintknappers out there-can mother nature create this type of work on a piece? I am trying to differentiate between worked pieces and mother nature effects. What are the keys to look for? Any thing that I should focus on via magnification?
thanks
