  • Another Square Knife/Adze/Scaper?

    Ron had brought up the subject of square knives, and whether they were generally unifacial or not. Clovisoid observed that some may have been adzes or scrapers. So here is another example of a "square" knife, and I've tried to show flaking, usage wear(?), etc.
    It does look like it could be an adze or scraper but not sure if the long axis edges were in fact also used as a knife edge :dunno:

          Found in Kansas. Have the location name, but it's illegible. Posted photos of the location legend on the forum once and nobody could read it. On a wire on cardboard with 4 other pieces:

                    Sure thing, Josh   The Mrs. likes the frame, though, she say's it's off limits :unsure:  :rolf:  :dunno:
                  Well, sooner or later
                  I remember now that Andrew might have figured out the location. A misspelling of Emporia, Kansas.
