Ever notice how lots of rocks look like perfect artifacts until you flip them over and find out that it’s just an ordinary rock?

What we are looking at is that first look. until we flip it over and look at the cross section shape and look for signs of being worked we will never be able to guess.

I've never seen one out of quartzite, but it looks like a bi-facial scraper very common on late prehistoric sites here in Ohio. It would have been hafted on the pointy end.

Thanks DirtScratcher!
Here in SE PA we have an abundance of quartz.

Can you post pictures of back and sides, that will help in identifying purpose.

When posting artifacts please post in focus pictures of all sides to help members in identification.

My wife found a milky quartz arrowhead a few years ago
