The purpose of this study is to determine the various functions of rhyolite end scrapers through replication of April Sievert's unpublished llama hide-working experiments with rhyolite end scrap ers that I used myself. To closely simulate aboriginal hide-working conditions, rhyolite end scrapers were used to scrape only fresh and diy hides, rather than tanned or chemically altered hides. Consideration was given to the formation of differing microwear traces on the experimental tools and on three archaeological end scrapers from the Hardaway site. In addition, compari sons were made between the results of this study and those of several published hide-working studies using various types of flint (Anderson 1980; Brink 1978; Keeley 1980; Kimball 1989; Mansur-Franchomme 1983; Vaughan 1985)
