you know it's weird,
a lot of people around here don't even pick up scrapers because they are so prolific
I went for a few years when I did not pick them up either cuz I had buckets of them
it seems like the same way people regard pottery shards, they do not save them either because
   they regard them as no value (monetary), only educational value
now what puzzles me is that Dork does not have any in his spots

my only thought is:
if the scrapers were for preparing hides into clothes that it might stand to reason that more clothes were needed in the Dakota's because it was so darn cold half of the time........Ya think?
  I will thank you in advance for your thoughts in this

They call them hide scrapers, but really, the Lord himself only knows what they were doing with them.

"Use Wear Analysis" isn't as definitive as people would like to imagine.  You can work three fresh hides with one endscraper without re-edging it. But you'll exhaust several getting through the same number of hides that have been left go 'til they stiffened up. And for that matter, if they were halfway adept at skinning in the first place, they wouldn't need scraped at all previous to tanning. (Huh)

Larson your photography is fantastic to show off that item. I do not know why Dork does not find any on that river site?  We find them from every time frame at most every site. You are right though as we also did not bother to pick them up for a long time. I am sure my buckets from years past have some in them I do not know about.
Nice post  sir!

I had to laugh when I read about the udder butter cuz I had been thinking the same thing---those hands look like they hurt! but

um just an aside for anyone else that wants to know --- Surgeons Skin Secret sticks of beeswax are just the BEST hand moisturizer! As a nurse I wash my hands at least 96 times a day (that is no lie- 6 patients round on them hourly and wash in and then out of the rooms= 96-and that is just with rounding not cares and meds!) at work so believe me, it works! Smiley (no I don't sell the stuff, I just believe in it! Less dry=Less cuts=Less infections  Smiley   ) Also great for heels so they don't catch on sheets at night! Now on with the discussion.

Into the half light, thru the flame, if i could thru myself set your spirit free I would lead your heart away see you break break away into the light, thru the day, so let it go and so fade away to let it go and so fade away, wide awake, Im wide awake, Im not sleeping...(U2 Bad)
