  • Paleo end scraper

    Found today , would this be considered an end scraper with a spur ?

    From your one bottom view, it does look like a spur. Flip it over, and let’s see the other side.
    being spurred doesn’t always mean paleo.

      circle area may have been used to scrape shafts a spokeshave . that little nipple at the lower end may be a graver or it may jhave just ended up there as a biproduct of the creation of the spokeshave. Its a nice artifact.

        Without a picture there is no way to tell what you have. I have found many Early Archaic/Paleo scraper of several types and I need to see both sides.

          If you are showing both sides then it is not a uniface scraper as per Early Archaic/Paleo.

        The top edge and notch certainly appear to have been knapped for scraping. If your thinking a paleo or Clovis scraper typically described as having a spur, it isn't. Those were hafted, and I don't think yours was hafted with that unrefined cortex thick edge. It could be any age including paleo.
