I found this scraper on a very minor site. It’s fluted on both sides. It’s heated flint and I think made on a broken point. Being heated, I don’t think it has anything to do with paleo Indians and is much newer. However, the maker surely understood fluting. The second flute rolled over the end, taking off the very end and creating a perfect edge for end scraping. I’ve never seen another like this.
