Discoidal Scrapers (Fig. 35)

Twenty-five artifacts are classified as discoidal scrapers. Again, as

noted in the case of side scrapers, the dividing line between some of

these and certain utilized flakes is somewhat arbitrary. Generally

these artifacts are steeply flaked, by percussion, on both faces and

all edges, giving them a rather rounded appearance. The largest is 2½

× 2¼ inches, the smallest ¾ × 1½ inch. Quartzite and flinty materials

show about equal usage.
