In the article we analyse a complex of stone tools from a settlement of the Russians of XVII–XVIII centuries. Stone scrapers are the most interesting tools from that complex. Trosological analysis of scrapers shows that a special technology of splitting of gravel-stones and manufacturing of scrapers for initial processing of fells existed in the settlement. The scrapers were used for removing inner side of fell.
