3D Model

In archeology, a racloir, also known as racloirs sur talon (French for scraper on the platform), is a certain type of flint tool made by prehistoric peoples.

It is created from a flint flake and looks like a large scraper.

As well as being used for scraping hides and bark, it may also have been used as a knife.

This racloir was discovered in the city of Nizhny Novgorod, near lake Lunskoye
