Is this a Scraper

[Tn Gizmo]

I picked this up a couple of days ago along with a broken arrowhead. I thought it was a broken arrowhead also, but now I think it may be a scraper, it seems to fit in my hand, even has a notch for the finger. Can anyone help me with an ID on this...Thanks in advance and have a great day.

could be a blade
possibly un-finished or pre-form or a blank
one thing for sure, it's nice

Definitely an artifact.

Artifact no doubt-looks like a scraper

many preforms or blanks were used as scrappers or rough knives as proven by use or wear patterns, while we think they are waiting to be finished into some thing else. Terry

I agree 100%as a matter of fact I have found very few preforms that were just preforms.90% of them were used for onething or another.....Great find!

Looks exactly like many scrapers I've seen in museums... Good find!
