Identifying flint tools - Identify tools





How do you get a flint knife? Can you fix a scratched diamond? These are done largely to grant the practice scientific legitimacy and a moral foundation.



Scrapers come in any number of shapes and sizes, and may be carefully shaped and prepared, or simply a pebble with a sharp edge.



They may have been luxury or trade items, meaning their real value was in their beauty, not utility.

Scrapers had a somewhat rounded edge, and were mainly used to scrape animal hides.





They still continued to be made for specialist purposes; as strike-a-alights, for working shale and more recently as gunflints.
