tatonka scapula tool

[larson1951]

i found this tool made from a buffalo scapula
i don't know what it was
maybe it was a broken shovel or hoe then made into a perforating tool of some sort
wondering if any one has some thoughts??

That's a good looking piece Steve. I think you may be right about it being a perforater now and being reworked from a Hoe or Shovel.

I was watching the radar the other night when we were getting hammered by storms and you were getting covered up by snow. It looks like it's melting off pretty quickly though. That should help uncover some things.

could that be a special root digging tool? i figured it at about 11 inches long! the point and size made me think of the sharpend digging sticks some people used in olden times around the world! TERRY

maybe terry is right, it could be a corn planting tool
i think the old timers called them a 'dibble'
