HAFTED END-SCRAPERS INUIT This picture shows how some Inuit Eskimo end scrapers were hafted onto handles. The drawing on the left was taken from the Smithsonian 1912 Handbook of American Indians and it represents a central Eskimo scraper. The example on the right is a Thule tradition hafted scraper that was found on the Walakpa site in Alaska. It was made in Alaska approximately 600 years ago. The wood handle and fiber hafting material is perfectly preserved. It measures 4 7/8 inches (12.4 cm) long.(Lithics Casting) AA.edu
