Flakers (Fig. 55)

There are four fragments of horn that appear to have been flakers.

Two are pointed implements 1¼ inches long, two are fragments that

lack tips. These are about 3½ inches long. All are of deer antler

(_Odocoileus hemionus_), and show various gouges and worn places.

One bone 7¼ inches long also appears to have been used as a flaker.

The blunt point has been shaped, but other modification seems to have

been unintentional and consists of irregular worn and scored areas.

Distribution of this scoring suggests that the tool was used in the

left hand.
