Thebes Hafted Scraper

[The Grim Reaper]

I got to hunt for a little bit today, about 4 hours all told. I didn't find anything until I found this right before I was getting ready to leave. My only find was this Thebes Hafted Scraper. I thought it may have been a Lost Lake, but I'm pretty sure it's a Dog Legged Thebes. It's made from Carter Cave Flint and is very translucent in spots. It has a very deep notch on one side and I tried to get a good picture of the Punch Notch technique used to form these types of notches.

Steve great piece! Love that notch.

Nice find, enjoyed the moment as you did watching your video.

Steve great piece! Love that notch.

Thanks. That's definitely a deep one. I'm surprised either tang survived being rolled around in a field. This field has given up at least 6 other Thebes I know of and two were Hafted Scrapers.

KIller Steve, sure has that dog-leg look to me...pretty unique scraper!

Sweet! Shows that symmetry, etc. ain't what always makes for a great artifact. Killer.

Cool find Steve. Anything notched is always a great find here in Ohio......nice to see I am not the only mad mudder out there. Did you check your boot soles when you got home? Ha.
