That's a good job Jamie! I used to use hammer stones a lot and carry one with me when I am collecting rock. Nice work.

     Actually Jamie, those points would make you at least a Cro Magnon like Hillbilly.  The Neandertals didn't have quite that much sophistication. ;)  Nice points. 8)  Especially with hammerstones! :o
