  • Did I Find a Tool?

    I found this on the surface in a corn field near my house in Southern Minnesota. I've also found what looks like the broken proximal end of an end scraper as well as many pieces of debitage of at least two different kinds of raw materials. I'm new to collecting artifacts but it seems like a primary flake that was shaped into a scraping or chopping tool, it fits nicely in my right hand. Hoping to get some opinions from members with a lot more experience than myself, thanks!

    I don't see it being a scraper or chopper but I'm not from the area. Maybe someone from that area will be along shortly.

      Looks more like a spall that was knocked off a larger core, may not have been utilized due to its heavy thick shape. Just a guess.

            So after seeing those pics I doubt its a blade core as I suggested, if it is, its seen sustatial wear in a stream would be my guess. Could be natural.
