Looks like quartz to me which indicates it would not be anything that has to be thrown or used as an arrow. Too brittle. But, that means it's most likely a skinning knife or hide scraper. Quartz was used for that because it could be made to have a very sharp edge. If dropped, it would probably break but strong as the dickens for hide work.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.
