None are shaped like a screwdriver but rather multifaceted or rounded, all showing extreme wear.PA Archaeologyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04204159849822259411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273973168996380531.post-86513668198716027522010-12-04T13:15:32.314-05:002010-12-04T13:15:32.314-05:00Great write-up!

They look cylindrical like they'd be inserted into a drilled handle (like the flaker found with Oetzi) rather than scarfed onto the side of a handle like the Schumacher and Murdoch examples. <br /><br />http://elfshotgallery.blogspot.com/2010/10/making-otzis-pressure-flaker.html<br /><br />In the figure 1 photo, it looks like they are shown with the working tip down and most are round in cross-section, but are a couple of the working tips flat, like a screwdriver?<br /><br />Fascinating stuff - thanks for sharing!Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11473674521424237610noreply@blogger.com
