So I was recently admiring my finds from this past Fall (lots of scrapers, 1 point) and started to focus on one particular tool, at least I think it is, and was in awe of the level of detail I believe was intentional.
Sorry if my pictures fail to show what I'm trying to explain.
The overall shape fits perfectly to the contours of a hand, there's a very long flake/flute on the back side for thumb support, and the front/top side had two large flakes removed that fit exactly where your pointer and middle finger fit. It's like this tool was custom fit to it's user.
I know scrapers aren't all that exciting to some people but this one seems pretty unique.
What do you think?

Nice scraper! Usually when you find a scraper you are not too far from a camp or processing site.
 

That is one nice scraper! Great size too. Funny how many different shapes our hands will grip comfortably.

Good thing we have thumbs or it would all be different.
