Stemmed Scraper   Save
Mr. & Mrs. Ernest Good Collection
Description: This light gray and brownish yellow flint scraper was made from a stemmed point. The blade was originally triangular, but was converted to a scraper when the tip broke. The stem is broad with parallel sides and a square base. There is some evidence of grinding on the base. This piece was from Paleoindian Culture. Paleoindians occupied Ohio between 15,000 and 9,000 years ago. In the western plains of North America, Paleoindians hunted mammoths and other game; because they moved in herds, caribou may have been a favored prey. View on Ohio Memory.
