Soil formation in the Arctic is so slow, that often artifacts that are thousands of years old are still lying on the ground surface. I didn't spot this little notched slate artifact - the guy in red did.
Its broken through the middle and would most likely have been a Dorset Palaeoeskimo lance point. The point is missing.
The broken edge may have served as a scraper after the tip snapped off.
