Both artifact and junk. Started on it, but it stayed thick, so they tossed it. Maybe used a little, maybe not, but not all that cool. Takes 5 min to make one like that, and to figure out if a rock will cooperate or not.

I would say no Indian artifact is junk. Maybe not a quality piece, but still neat history that is not easy to find. I would keep it.

A piece of rock that was worked and discarded 4 thousand years ago in an artifact. I have a few and call them dang it's. The indian picked it up - hit it ten times and it broke. He muttered dang it and droped it.

I still count it a cool day when I find a “dang it” knapped rock. Just knowing someone a long long time ago was once whacking on that little piece of rock still makes it worth keeping to me. Write place and time found to keep with it, and every now and then hold that old rock and think about that fellow hunting dude who maybe a thousand years ago walked the same ground you just did.
