Collectors keep saying it looks Clovis...

[AncientTech]

I just want to mention that I have been posting on Facebook as "KnapYucatan".  And, I have been having inquiries from collectors who are telling me that my deer tine flaking, and my deer tine overshot flaking, look Clovis.  And, some keep asking how I did it??   

Meanwhile, I have flintknappers, and flintknapping moderators, who keep telling me that no one is interested in how ancient people made their points.  LOL!!!  Quite a difference in perspective!!  Is "flintknappers not interested in authentic flintknapping" an oxymoron???  Lol!  Maybe I should sell bumperstickers at knapins.  Lol!!!!

So, here is flaking that collectors keep asking about...

Maybe flintknappers not interested in authentic flint knapping lost their "oxy"! Lol!  I am just getting started with gathering tools, stone, etc. and want to learn the original way first.

That Texas rock?

Well, i doubt you get that reaction here. Can you show how you did that? I want to learn and do my knapping with tine work only.

Is that rock from Costa Rica or Belize?

Most Collectors are poorly schooled in knapping.
How many honest archaeologist do you have saying
that overshot is even a Clovis technique and not
anything but a common mistake?
 Over shots occur in all knapping where large material is used. 
It's just nature of physics.
On the other hand being able to create them at will
is an other kettle of fish.
