So I'm assuming the indents were for the fingers then, almost like a thumb scraper? Or am I completely off here
 

Probably could b used both ways hafted on an antler handle or held with two fingers ;)
 

No your not completely off at all the may of very well of been points at one time but without a pic of the other side a little hard to tell ... Some worn down points end up as drills some as scrapers
 

K thanks painter. Maybe I'll have to pull some of mine out and start a "share your scrappers" thread

Some folks call them blunts , and we have had a thread on this once before and everyone has their on idea. I call them hafted scrapers because they where hafted on to a shaft for a handle. This a little info and photo of someImage (19).webpNotice the center one on bottom row has a type of flute.
 

Pull them out boss haha and always remember ole monster rack he a pretty smart feller haha
 

Really appreciate the info monster. Never saw that thread, even though I like to go through the old pages of threads trying to pick up what I can while i wait on everyone to come post their new jaw dropping finds.

Your second piece is a strange thumb nail scraper. It's name comes from the thumb shape and the "flute" is the thumb nail. Cool finds!!
 

Check out this 1

I showed this to Curt Carr at the Harrisburg museum he is sure it's paleo.
