hammerstone work
« on: January 05, 2011, 08:19:58 am »
no bone no antler. all work done with a single hammer stone. even figured out how to do pressure flaking with stone. you can see it in some of the small er scars. 4" knife and a 2" inch fluted point

Cool Jamie! Looks like original artifacts to me :).
When you come upon a track or trail you do not know, follow it to the point of knowing.

Ditto on Cowboy's comment.  Very utilitarian, yet well executed.  You are "Aboman."

Awesome Jamie, maybe one day you can teach me how to knapp.
