Scraper

Title
Scraper
Description
Rhyolite scraper made out of a large primary flake with one curved, sharp working edge and a battered/worked point.
Scrapers are a common and ubiquitous tool and were used for many purposes including preparing hides, scraping meat off bones, and shaping bowls. They are formed to only have one sharp edge, allowing someone to hold the dull edge while working. One of the scrapers shown here is small and called a thumbnail scraper, while the others are larger.
