      Almost always uniface and the Texas area has something similar, the Albany uniface/biface.

        I would have associated those with a very purposefully made knifes and not scrapers.

          I think that is a valid consideration.

          All I have seen are uniface and made like the one that has little or no use before being re sharpened.

          Wow - Who'd a thunk it. I would have thought those to be a repurposed broken point rather than an original scraper shape. Unbelievable. Thanks Johnny for the education. I love this site!!
