This is interesting but I have never seen anyone so unorganized with the labeling of their videos. It is almost like he went out of his way to label every vidoe so that you could not follow the series.
lol, sorry, I made these hastily a long time ago. I had no idea they would get thousands of views. I guess I should make some playlists on the series.
Marty I always like to watch you work you dont use a flint saw and all the flake over grinding crap and the copper tools your just the best knapper I have ever seen I know a few to and they are all crazy jealous of you they act like they hate you but its because they are jealous not all are like that but I know of a few! keep showing them up! your the best
burin flake ...... Gawd boy, i sure wish you would make more vids. I promise if i ever pull a trick like that its youtube here i come. Thanks as always Marty. I hope you can post soon.
WOW, Back when I was actively surface hunting on the terraces of the Iowa River in Marshall & Hardin County IA, I'd find those same exact knives almost every time I went out. Same exact craftsmanship, same exact material! You could lay this item in with the finished products I've found in the past and you'd not be able to guess it was not from that area. The material that was used to make the stuff I found had to be what you refer to as Burlington Chert.
I do, buy they are in a showcase with a glass top that has to be removed in order to get at the contents. Will try to shoot pic through side glass in the next day or so. Bob.
I have not found the blade I was talking about, but when I do, I'll take photos and send to you. In the meanwhile I'll need your email address because I'm not sure how to send a photo on this web site. Bob.
