Both side of a triangular point with basal ears & concave basal edge. It is translucent gray with black diagonal stripes.
Modern 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
4 views of cobble with accompanying drawings showing use areas.
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

Dorsal side of medium point with long, straight stem, triangular blade & square shoulders on brown, beige & tan mottled chert.
Ventral side of medium point with long, straight stem, triangular blade & square shoulders on brown, beige & tan mottled chert.
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 & mauve jasper exposed on ~4.65 cm cobble with off-white cortex
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
Tapered stem point with triangle blade, slightly expanded stem side-indented point with long triangle blade, & straight stem point with weak shoulders & long lanceolate blade
Modern #flintknapping. Three points made of transparent quartzite, clear quartz crystal & white planar quartz. #archaeology
Small corner-notched point with recurvate blade, wide thickened shoulders, slightly expanded stem , convex base made or yellow glass. A drawing from Bell 1960, Plate 8F, is shown beside it.

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
Hand screen with a lot of red chert pieces
Yeah, you could say those chert blanks disintegrated. #Flintknapping #archaeology
A row of 10 modern flintknapped colored glass points in red (1), light blue (2), cobalt blue (2), aqua (2), green (1), yellow (1) & amber (1).
Lived here for 30 years but only noticed this stone on the flower bed yesterday. Signs of repeated working? A lithic core?

Triangular blade point with side notches, basal ears & concave base. The gray obsidian has black streaks in it.
Modern made San Patrice variety St. Johns dart point on banded gray obsidian. #archaeology #flintknapping
Squarish gray boulder
Hmm, there is a boulder of medium gray novaculite hiding in there. #flintknapping #archaeology
Said boulder
Did not realize I had a boulder of light gray & brown novaculite. #flintknapping #archaeology

Left) dorsal & ventral sides of a gray to white chert biface blank & a white sandstone abrader. Right) 3 images showing the rounding & dulling.
Abrading edges during #flintknapping, either by percussion or pressure flaking, helps prevent what we call a crushed platform, thus aiding in the generation of longer flakes & less step-fractures. These 3 images show dulling & rounding of chert edges abraded with the abrading stone. #archaeology

A throwback to 2019. #Flintknapping debris from working red slag glass & a little light gray chert. #Archaeology
