  • Various Scrapers?

    These were found recently in North Texas, Dallas County, within gravel along a creek. I am almost sure these are scrapers, but before I can be 100% confident in my ability to identify, I need confirmation, or agreement. What do you all think?

    That top right one looks like it has a lot of work on it but not going up against Ron’s knowledge .

      Piece below the quarter: This one is chunky, but the edge interests me.

          A defining feature of a scraper is a steep bevel on the distal end: I'm not seeing it.

            They do appear to have been worked on for sure.

              At least a couple of them look like they may have been broken from larger pieces. The top right for example looks like a broken tip or base of something to me. I’m far from certain on any of these, but if you see an unworked edge opposite of worked edge, and the unworked edge looks like it broke off in a thick section of the piece with a long, sharp edge that doesn’t look comfortable to hold, then consider that it might not be the whole thing.
