Uniface Thing?
Decided to go on a little Hunt yesterday evening and hoped to find something significant (point,axe or something) but only found a couple headscratchers.

This is an interesting artifact and its well flaked and large enough I wouldnt just call it debitage but dont know what to call it. Small knife or scraper perhaps? Anctiously awaiting responses so what would you call it?

I've found a few of those. They seem to come in different sizes but all about the same shape. I've heard them referred to as thumb scrapers. I guess because you could put your thumb on there and use it well as an end scraper. Nice find.

There was a post a while back addressing the hafting of scrapers with that shape. Will see if I can find the link.

EDIT: Here we go... And I Always Thought They Were Thumb Scrapers
