TABULAR SCRAPER BLANK This picture shows one side of a thin tabular scraper flake that was found in a cache along with at least nine Canaanean blades. The opposite surface of this cortical flake is the outer cortex of the nodule core. This flake doesn't show any heavy use wear along its edges and it's been described as a scraper blank. But it does have some pressure "nibbling" on a portion of its edge. This minor trimming might suggest a use as a knife. This flake measures 5 9/16 inches (14.1 cm) long and 3 7/8 inches (9.8 cm) wide.
