When a 'flute strike' went wrong the flute channel could 'dive' from one face towards the reverse face--look at the pics 'on end' of this broken 'almost there' Clovis, it'll make more sense that a long-winded explanation. Typically, the end is rounded, not a clean 'snap off' as you'd get on a broken point. Not being willing to let a good piece of flint go to waste, these 'flute failures' often show work polish as they were converted into end scrapers. A close up photo should show the very tiny use-made chips that tell you the piece was then used as a scraper--call it a hafted scraper (blunt), if you will--that was its purpose. Here, the hornstone is slightly over 1" in length, 1&3/16" wide, 5/16" max thickness. There was only marginal effort put into basal edge dulling, only slightly more grinding than that on the lateral edges. The finder lived in Posey County, Indiana, but much of his collection came from his growing up home near Elizabethtown, KY--the flint (if it isn't hornstone) is the Kentucky Blue Flint of his childhood home--high quality flint, regardless. Shipping is $8.00, checks or M.O.s are the two ways the piece can be paid for, but please note I do not use paypal-type services--Roy A.
