BEST SCRAPER CONTEST
Best Scraper Contest
Sometimes it’s a little difficult to include or exclude an artifact in the “scraper pool”. Most will agree that an artifact that was made to serve primarily as a scraper has a steep bevel on the working edge. Your entries should fall into one of these major categories of scrapers.
1. End Scraper: The scraper has a steep bevel on the end and is usually unifaced. Some are teardrop shaped and made on a common flake. Some are made on a blade from a core.
2. Side Scraper: The scraper has a steep bevel on the side or on two sides. They are usually unifaced.
3. Hafted Scraper: These scrapers are usually repurposed from a broken or worn point. They have either a stemmed or notched base and are bifaced.
4. Hand-Held Scraper: These scrapers very often have a steep bevel on the entire circumference and are usually unifaced.
In the first round you can vote for as many as you like (vote with your thank you). The contenders for the second round will be the scrapers with the most thank you votes.
The top scrapers will move on to the second round where you will have one vote for your favorite scraper.
You only have 24 days to make your entries: June 1st to June 24th. You will have 3 days to vote for your favorite scraper: June 27-29.
All members are welcome and encouraged to enter. We’re asking that you enter one scraper per post and make lots and lots of posts. Enter as many scrapers as you like and then enter some more. Most of you already know how much I love scrapers so make my day (or month) and flood this contest with lots of scrapers. The winner of the Best Scraper Contest will receive a copy of the renowned Overstreet Guide.
