Is this a scraper?

[Erving]

Went detecting in a field where I've picked up a couple points today. It's too bad it's broken, but I found a nice quartz point, and also what might be a scraper. I know it's hard to tell what something is by a photo sometimes, but any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

Nice Find! It looks like a small cutting tool. Also nice little heartbreaker point.

For sure, Erv! Unifacial thumbnail scraper. Easily used as a knife, too. ROUGH material to work, looks like to me. The quartz(ite?) one could possibly be a hafted scraper made from a point, but I can't see the work in the pic/material.

Thanks guys. I think it's just point with the tip broken off.

good eye sir thanks for sharing and great camera shot on the broken point

i think it may be unfinished but still utilized as it is maybe it did not flake right and the maker gave up on it

still i would have kept it also
