Also, is there a use for a blade that big?? |
Heavy blades also can be chopping tools, hand axes and that kind of thing.
Since the first known peoples of North America did not have pick up trucks good working stone was reduced for packing home the results are what modern archeologists call preforms.
It's better to have broken a possible stone tool at the quarry than to have packed it long distances and find the flaw later.
This was probably not a ceremonial point:
