   Denticulates are the most complicated unifacal tool form found on the Olive Branch site. Some of the twelve examples illustrated here, have many teeth that were pressure flaked onto more than one edge. The sharp saw-like edges are thought to have been used for cutting or rather sawing soft materials, like wood. The gaps between the teeth vary from 1 mm to 8 mm.
