Side Scrapers (Fig. 34)

Twenty-three specimens are classified as side scrapers. In general,

as with discoidal scrapers, it is hard to draw a line between these

and utilized flakes. An arbitrary division was made because, when

the material was laid out, some specimens consistently showed more

regular work or flaking than others. The largest of these is 2½ × 1

inch, the smallest 1¼ × 1 inch. In general, they are long flakes with

considerable flat flaking and/or retouch along one face, usually on

only one edge. Quartzite and crypto-crystalline quartz were about

equally popular.
