Kaskahikan

Kaskahikan or end scrapers are lithic (stone) tools that have been formed by chipping one edge of a piece of rock to create a tool used to scrape meat off animal hides, soften hides, or do woodwork. End scrapers vary in size and shape. They are made to fit comfortably in the hand, or to be mounted in a wood or bone handle.

End scrapers could be used by men and women in any season, depending on the job. Men would use end scrapers for woodworking to make toys and tools. Women would use end scrapers to soften hides so that they could make clothes or shelters.
