Kirk stemmed
« on: November 15, 2013, 09:31:33 pm »
A little friday night knapping fun.  Left to right
left- My reproduction of a kirk stemmed atlatl point made from FL chert

 middle- a to-scale picture of a kirk stemmed atlatl point artifact featured in the Overstreet arrowhead ID book dated 6000-9000 years old

right- An actual kirk stemmed artifact made from FL chert that is in my collection

pretty good likeness of the 3 if I do say so myself. Obviously mine is a little cleaner and sharper edged since it doesn't have several thousand years of erosion.  :-\

Looks spot on Ryan. Have a couple of your points in my hunting quiver this year and yes they are sharp.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

When you come upon a track or trail you do not know, follow it to the point of knowing.
