content: FROM CARD: "WEDGE OR BARK PEELER. ILLUS.: HNDBK. N. AMER. IND., VOL. 11, GREAT BASIN, FIG. 13C, PG. 321." Handbook caption identifies as "Bone scraper-flesher [for processing hides] made from a large mammal long bone split and carved to form a long, thin working edge, with the articular end left as the butt of the handle. A structural ridge extending from the intact articular end has been carved into a series of notches, perhaps a functional element ensuring a better grip, perhaps purely decorative."
