James GreenModern reproduction of a Oxbow point (ca. 2700-1000 BCE) made on black striped obsidian. The Oxbow is found mainly in the Northern Great Plains in The US & Canada. #archaeology #flintknapping
Quartzite cobble with unusual wear & damage patterns possibly caused from use #flintknapping & perhaps as a hammer for pulverizing temper or cracking hickory nuts or bones for marrow. #archaeology
Bulverde point (late Middle Archaic to early Late Archaic ca. 5000-4000 BP) made from Citronelle gravel chert I flintknapped many decades ago. The Bulverde type is found from central TX to LA. #archaeology #flintknapping
Red & yellow jasper Citronelle gravel cobble that I've flintknapped on a bit. Both red & yellow jasper make good flake tools because they are denser than most cherts, thus hold an edge longer. #rocks #flintknapping
Modern #flintknapping. Three points made of transparent quartzite, clear quartz crystal & white planar quartz. #archaeology

The grainy red jasper flakes better & there is a luster change. Now if I can just thermally alter a larger piece without it heat fracturing & spalling. #flintknapping #archaeology
I screened the fire pit ash this morning to see what became of those three chert blanks I tried to heat treat.
Yeah, you could say those chert blanks disintegrated. 😮 #Flintknapping #archaeology
