Hi everyone! I purchased six stone objects recently from the Ukraine: I was told they were Epigravettian stone tools found in the Dnieper River Rapids area and were from about 25-12,000 BC. Some of them I am a bit unsure of, but there are a couple that do look very similar to worked ones I've seen before, and they do have iron stains from groundwater contact. I apologize for the quality of the pictures: I had a crazy weekend and didn't get a chance to photograph these until I got home tonight.
Firstly, there is this small piece. It looks similar to "bruised blade" knives, cores, or fire-starting flints that I have seen before, and is perhaps the one that I am most confident about.
The possibly-worked side
And the flat side
I'm splitting this into two posts so as to not have too many pictures in one. Thank you all for any help you can provide!
