Uniface blade types

[NC field hunter]

All my life I have found uniface blades here and there. They have all been like the ones below until now.







These have a place for a handle to be hafted and were all found within three miles of each other. Recently I have found two that seem to have never been hafted. One is flaked, and the other kind of ground down. Both uniface and found together across the county from the ones above.

Killer pieces I enjoy these type of tools. The dark chert one is what we in this area call a hump back or even a turtle scraper like the one Neanderthal posted the other day. The last 3 pics of the light colored one ,does it show secondary flaking on the edge? I often think the large curved blades were a big reduction strike on material to be used as is and a little bit of secondary work on the blade. Same way with thumb scrapers. I could also see splitting a green stick and filling the split up with these sharp flat stones as a weapon.

The light colored one is shearaded. It also has a linear pattern on the blade. It isn't flaked but ground down. It's hard to see in pics, but it has grooves worn from fingers.

Sometimes I find those styles and seem to think the narrow side of them quite possibly might be the side that was hafted into a handle and the fat end is the blade. And of course the other way around. I try to look at them at different angles.
