@@robertayoder2063 Greetings from me to you, madam. I am looking for an expert or researcher in ancient archeology to help me because I have a piece, or rather I have a stone ax that I found here and a set of tools that people use in their daily life, and perhaps their age is more than 200 million years. 
I have just refinishwd a solid wood table top useing a modern long handled scraper and I can see how useful they were. I have found many of these. Some as small as my pinky to as large as the plam of my hand. The artisfs reconstruction makes total sents to me.
Anybody that has ever scraped a deer hide knows that a thumb scraper would be impractical and nearly impossible to use. These were most likely used for scaling fish or shaving Arrow/spear shafts.
Ever heard of small game? Turtle, squirrel, beaver, muskrat, etc? Shaft scrapers are concave to match the radius of the shaft. I have found hundreds of them.
@@wadetaylor1299 No, these are almost always found with a curved bit edge like a scraper. Not a sharpened edge for cutting. That makes even less sense than trying to use one of these to clean a deer hide between your thumb and forefinger. These were most certainly used to scale fish. And stop responding to year old comments.
@@moemuggy4971 you educate yourself end scrapers and shafted end scrapers were not used for just fish and have been found just about everywhere in the world. And ya never fleshed a hide at all so I will respond a year later . And they come in all sizes some size of a small thumb nail . Shaft scraper is more logical. A End scraper Works perfect one with good lip for scraping tendon tough sinew after it's been fleshed and dried . Small one I just found could scrape a scale maybe but I doubt it a simple decent size flake would do better than a small end scraper . Guy can't use a real name u try going fishing scale some fish with some little thumb scraper
What makes you think a native would have any idea what people 2000 years ago were doing? And because I’m European you would assume that I know what my ancestors were doing over 100 generations ago? lol
@@williambrandondavis6897 because some natives still use these tools today. stories and traditions are passed down generation to generation, until you have complete genocide of some native peoples, then the knowledge is lost, then white quackademics get to explain everything to ya. history is written from the winners point of view.
Scrapers from the woodland and archaic period are not rare at all in my neck of the woods. I know places that’s about all you can find and they are everywhere.
Boy you should see whats rotting away in the basement storages all across america at schools & museums! Ive had a few peek's. Im not an archaeologist or so on but im a dealer😉 it's a travesty what we know and have but refuse to tell or acknowledge 🤔🇺🇲
About time some Love for the end scraper. I've found thousands of them.
You're right buddy ✌
Love your videos! Been hunting artifacts for 55 years,there is a need for your videos. I've seen young hunters asking " is this an artifact??".
Always like go home with good end scraper

I recently found some scrapers like these. Thanks for the video!
Great video… wish it was longer
Stellar keep them coming!
It’s been found that the polish on the front of an end scraper likely came from the construction of bowls and other wood implements.

About how long ago do you think there were ipeople in Audrain Co Missouri?
Can't believe this information interests relatively few people.
the artist reconstruction is the proper way to haft the end scraper. ask any native.....
I'm a Buckethead fan also! Good to see you here. Lol.

I dug two beautiful rose quartz scrapers out of a dirt bank about two feet from one another.
I hear that !!!

That’s true but most universities don’t have the funding to properly sort and catalog everything. It does seem a shame.
