Hi Jim, nice video as usual!

How do you think yhis would work on quartzite?

I dont think quartzite would make good blades, it is too grainy. It is probably best to reserve the best obsidians and flints for blade making....jim

Okay, I have resolved with the video information that I had some doubts for the construction of these types of core, we present in Italy.

I only doubt remains about how they were made with flint!?

Thanks again

Bravo mi hai risolto con le informazioni video alcuni dubbi che avevo per la costruzione di questi tipi di nucleo, presenti da noi in Italia.

Mi rimane solo il dubbio su come venivano realizzati con la selce!?!?

Grazie di nuovo

I believe the same technique will work with high quality flint. If you have any pictures of cores and blades from Italy I would very much appreciate seeing them. thanks....jim
