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

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

Lived here for 30 years but only noticed this stone on the flower bed yesterday. Signs of repeated working? A lithic core?

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
