I did a little walking in a new canyon. We found this quarry next to a high bluff.

Wow, that is cool Don!   I've found mounds before that have lots of debitage on them before, but nothing like that.  Very nice.  Those blanks look great.  Good looking flint.

Time, dedication, cuts, tons of broken rock, a wife, and perhaps a few girlfriends are some of what it takes in becoming a skilled flint knapper!!!

Lord no. That's a very small part. The quarry covers a couple hundred acres .Its about 1/2 a mile from the road. I'm going to walk in again & do some spalling.
