✅ SOLVED Found a real nice scraper yesterday......

[TundraPlugger]

Went out to my usual spot and had a bit of luck. The scraper is 1 15/16" long and very well made.

Also interesting was the piece of obsidian I found there. You almost never see that stuff up here. Probably came from NW Wyoming.

That's a nice well made scraper and from beautiful material. Looks like the Paleo scrapers we see from the GB.
Nice find!!

Nice find , you find some really finely crafted pieces and the material makes them that much nicer ...... there was some amazingly skilled craftsmen that knapped the artifacts you have been finding

KRF is very unforgiving to knap. You HAVE to have great skill or you end up with nothing. Gary

Lol, I found a chunk in a load of gravel years ago. I set it on another larger rock, whacked it with my hammer and the piece that came off was damn near an arrowhead already. I figured it was easy to work.

Thanks Point! Scrapers aren't usually given that much attention. The maker of this one definitely had an eye.

Thanks tn! A few years back it seems like I read that, in general, Mountrail County, ND has some of the nicest artifacts a person can find. I think hunting buffalo was their means of survival so they tended to be darn good at making the instruments to get that food. Points usually aren't terribly large up this way but they are definitely well made and usually quite thin.

Thanks arrow! They definitely knew what they were doing when it came to killing buffalo up this way.
