Abrader Item Number: 2021.O.002:328 from the Sto:lo Research & Resource Management Centre

Description

A medium sized slate abrader with some use-wear present on the distal end and left mesial portion. The left mesial portion indicates potential use as a spokeshave, as well. The distal end has a gap between two layers that goes more deep than a natural break between the layers to sharpen a blade. The ventral face is flat with a slope halfway through length-wise. The sloped portion looks to have some linear streaks from sanding other belongings.
