Hi all. Looking or some opinions on this one. With the caveat of {nobody can know for sure except its maker} out of the way, what do y'all think of this: Is it fluted? Is it an idiosyncrasy of this particular maker and material? If not, then to what end was it so shaped? Dimensions are 2.5" x 1.5". Thanks for your replies!

S.B. I don't think it's a flute flake. It looks Archaic or woodland. The hinge is the result of a thinning flake removed. It sure is a nice scraper though. KKnowledge is about how and where to find more Knowledge. Snyder County Pa.

Just a reduction flake that hit a hinge fracture, stack. I'm pretty sure and not the maker.Last edited by gregszybala; 10-17-2021, 05:36 AM.Searching the fields of NW Indiana and SW Michigan

I would consider that a thinning flake. Many of our early archaic points on the E coast exhibit techniques similar to the fluting process. I wonder if the natives tried to replicate the hafting techniques of earlier knappers?North Carolina

Thanks for the reply! If I may, what gives it away as a scraper as opposed to something else? To answer why I came to that conclusion is it's size and shape, very simple. KimKnowledge is about how and where to find more Knowledge. Snyder County Pa.
