They wasted very little, when a point was broken, they re-flaked (knapped) it into something else usable.....Seen a lot of broken points that were turned in to hafted scrapers.....

No its not broke,or it may have,but they re worked it.I have found quite a few of those and an Archi told me they thought they were possibly "blunts",which were used for birds or small game and killed by shock :thumbsup:

When we say broke we mean it was broke then re-knapped into a different tool in ancient times.
