"Beaked Graver Showing Flake Scars. Full dorsal view of 3-cm beaked unifacial graver; detail of working tip shown in next image. From a depth of 3.99 m in Calico Master Pit I. Note fine work at tip, and flaking around entire circumference. No natural process could remove flakes in such a patterned manner. Ventral side is an unmodified bulbar flake surface" [Fred E.
