    These 58 end-scrapers illustrate a few of the examples found on the Olive Branch site. They show the typical outline that tends to have a wider end for the scraping edge and a narrower end where they were  hafted. As the rounded scraping edges were resharpened they became more straight. This type of scraper was most probably hafted onto a short handle the same way Eskimo and Mandan end-scrapers were hafted.
