| Description | A concave end scraper, this is a large section of a flake with one end worked into a concave cutting edge. It may once have been part of a large denticulated scraper but this is uncertain. As it is, the tool probably served as a chisel or spoke shave. The two points show retouch on both sides, indicating they may once have been denticulations. |
