i have taken several insitu pics with my phone, this is the first time i had my camera. what i was wondering about was the skinny black point. is that a thinning flake taken out of the bottom or could it be a wee little flute. i have nothing like it to compare to. probably just wishful thinkin. if anyone has any advice or even similar pics , i would appreciate it. thanks [attach5]

I was looking through some blades and found this piece which I thought was quite similar. It's a WV artifact too.

Maybe they were doing a small hafting flute. Flattening it out a bit for strength? Regardless of grinding they could easily just drive off a step if it presented itself. We always say thinning strike gone bad,,, maybe not?? Just an idea.
 

Beautiful point! :thumbsup:
