Hi guys!

We went searching along the Missouri River this past weekend. We found a few broken pieces along with the scraper below. I love the material and was amazed at how well it's shaped and worked around all edges! I searched online and couldn't find one very similar. I'm hoping someone here could offer thoughts or information on it. Thanks guys!

:icon_thumright: That is one fine, large thumb scraper. Most likely it was halfted with a handle.

That's as good as it gets for a uniface scraper!

Nice size. Meaning you have a flint source nearby. Where I live, no flint source except glacial till small stuff. Our scrapers are much smaller due to only having small flint. Gary

I would call that a early end scraper type probably Early Archaic or earlier by the size and quality of it. One of the nicest scrapers posted all year imo.
