Tell Me what This Is. Only one like it I have. Was found within 10ft of where a Clovis out of the same material was found in TN. Edges are worked. Uniface both sides.

Nice uniface scraper Jack. Looks like it could be paleo and since it was found near clovis it probably is. With a bevel like that it was made for some heavy duty scraping. Nice piece. Ray.

Duckbill scraper. Although people claim they were used by early cultures, I have yet to see evidence of it. The core technology along doesn't support the theory as it was used by so many cultures in different areas. We find them here on very late sites, primarily proto-historic. I'm not saying some cannot be older, I would imagine they were a popular tool used by many cultures over the years.
