Flint Scraper (Kentucky, USA)

I stumbled upon an ancient flint scraper with a built-in borer/awl in the yard of my parents' home outside Louisville, Kentucky, while they were busy tending to their lawn. The artifact was unearthed completely out of context, suggesting it may have been created by the Woodland culture or possibly later by another group of skilled craftsmen. I carefully captured its intricate details using a NextEngine 3D scanner to preserve its shape and texture for future study.
