    Hey Will, I have a special interest in scrapers and like the variety of different types you are finding at that site. The historic trade beads are an interesting find. The bead with the stripes is really cool. The lite colored  hardstone piece at the top of the first picture: Does it have a central channel running the length of the piece?

      Its not a channel i wish it were but there just harder veins within the stone and scrapers are actually my favorite smakl tool ron they had to have been the equivelant of our jack knives today and id imagine the owners had the same love for there scraper as i do my jack knife it never leaves me so in that sence the scraper gives me a connection to the person who used it that u cant put a price on in my book
