Hiya. I found this artifact while exploring the back yard of my aunts house in Colorado. She lives about ten/fifteen miles south of Durango, fairly close to the four corners. I have done some research online but have yet to find the information I seek.
There is what looks like some stains on the front of the artifact, as if someone scraped it with a red rock. They are mostly visible on one side, but there is a tiny (too tiny to be visible in photo) mark on the back that is of the same color. I think it is made out of jasper but I'm unsure; it is very shiny when light is present. I was wondering if these stains had any significance, what the artifact itself is, how rare it is, what it's made out of -- really any information.
Also, I have seen on the internet "hafted scrapers" which I thought resembled this, but I'm unsure how this could of been made from a broken arrowhead due to the shape of the head.
