    What type would this unique little Arkansas tool be considered? All three ends are worked to different sizes.

    Looks like a three sided drill I have never seen one of those, just drills with one bit, really nice find though

      It was probably repurposed from a stemmed point.

        It was possibly repurposed but all three ends have polish from use and wear with no sign of any old fractures.

      That’s a non-metric pre-Columbian drill index.

      hard to find these days, but 5-600 years ago, you could pick them up for a song....😁

      thats a cool find.👍👍

          That's a 1/8", 3/16", 1/4" combo drill bit!

            That is really cool, especially with the use wear. See what happened was one guy in the village made a nice a drill. Then his neighbor made a double drill. So, naturally this guy needed to make a triple drill. Somewhere nearby is a quad drill, but the guy that was making the pentagram drill decided it was too much trouble and gave up.
