North Alabama Indian Relic?

[Mike Alexander]

Does anyone know what this is? This was found in a stream in North Alabama. It's made of flint, looks to be a hide scrapper?

It does look like one, but it's not really in my area of knowledge. Have you posted it in the Native section?

Yep.

How big is the scraper? There is different types depending on the size. But by the shape if I found it here in GA I would call it a Turtle Back Scraper. I find them also but mine are small.

Are you near Russell Cave National Monument?

I was there 12 years ago, and one of the NPS employees was a foremost expert on Native American artifacts. Super interesting guy.

He would be the guy to ask about your scraper.

Is it worked on both sides or is one side flat?
