Title: dove, andice, clovis...
Post by: Stringman on May 30, 2012, 10:14:07 am
Wife and I went campin this last weekend over in Eastern IL. She took newspapers to read while realxing and I took rocks  ;D

I feel like it went well overall. I was working with about half my kit, but percussion and pressure were both going fine. My daughter put her vote in on the obsid side notched as her favorite. I have to agree as it has about the best symmetry and flake pattern of any I've made to date. The clovis was a point I had previously set aside and just got around to fluting. Believe it or not both sides are single attempts (one side has a funky flute.)
