Hi, new member migrating from Arrowheadology...
Just came across this surface find in the Lower Columbia River area:
You can see the rough dimensions in comparison to my fingers. Thickness measures approx 0.25" across the center. Blunt end is towards the bottom in the photo; all other sides show rough biface flaking.
It's definitely a worked peice, but I can't make out it's intended purpose. Looks big for typical scraper from this area, but perhaps a bit too small for a preform?
Any ideas as to function, and possible material ID?
thanks
