  • Blade?

    Again South Georgia . Is this just a snapped
    off blade or a bi- face? This is the biggest puzzle .
    It had knapping 1/4 long at the tip which is
    sharp. The right side is straight but the left
    goes off on an angle . Snapped bottom and a
    uniface.

    Hard to tell much because the pictures don't show any flaking. I would try using natural lighting in the evening try to get a shot of the flake cars if there is any visible.

      I agree, the photo doesn't help very much. Hard to see the flaking

        I agree, I'll try to use someone else phone . It's so faint but the second pic on the top right is what it's like all around. These 1-8 in lines or groves cut
        into it . More precise then a knap although
        I realize that's the terminology . Knapping .

          It looks like a tip of a blade like this that was broke while they were making it. Your material is really grainy or hard to knap and that is likely why it broke.
