Distribution of Scrapers Varieties (2012)
IMAGE
Notches (spokeshaves) include bifacial and unifacial specimens along with utilized flakes; all characterized by having a notch. Also shown: the distribution of whole endscrapers and broken endscrapers. Broken endscrapers are generally represented by the end with steep retouch. Broken and whole endscraper tabulations are combined in the distribution "Total Endscrapers." The scraper and broken scraper categories encompass a variety of shapes and sizes, but all exhibit use wear. The distribution...
