Ooh, coral? I had been wondering what things other than stone and vitrified stuff can be knapped

The wild Turkey was almost our national bird. They are the fasted strait flying birds.

Another beautiful point sir.

I was knapping this morning with your video playing. I watch and listen. I’ve been doing this for a while. I didn’t want to sound like the crazy one in the bunch. But might already be.🤫

Flintknappers are the nerds of society, it's likely always been that way. What? You think ASD is a recent human development? I doubt it. Nerds drive the advancement of technology, particularly in warfare, medicine, and food production, so they develop and teach the ordinary folks how to apply this technology since they are skinny and uncoordinated and unsuited to hunting and warfare. The finest examples of the state of (any) art are still produced directly by the nerds themselves, though. It would be interesting if a crack forensic team worked the Iceman case like a murder/robbery investigation, might lead to some different conclusions.

Great Job

He may have simply been going to visit his Mothers land. The reed Cape was a mat to sleep on.

I didn't believe ie was a bow either

The damn Yeti' got all the good stuff

Inquiring Minds want to know, as of April 2024, Vermont's wild turkey population was estimated to be more than 45,000 birds

Amazing work as always Patrick.the agatized Coral from Pearl Yoder is my favorite material to work with.

My thoughts on Otzi was that he was banished from his tribe/colony. That's why he had bare minimum items. No coat. And what he had was in bad shape or incomplete.. His "bow". His blade. So on and so forth. And he had pollen in his stomach.. I would expect a goat herder to have goat in his stomach. And on his person. I believe he had time to gather essentials and that's it.. He was probably not a good guy.. Nothing adds up. I think he was on the run and he parished in the elements..

The quiver and arrows in my opinion must have belonged to him, it is extremely unlikely the attackers would drop one of theirs and not recover it, and a unrelated loss is even more unlikely, I can see that it’s possible they would recover his bow and may have been in a rush to recover the rest, although the axe was probably the most valuable item (not produced in the area) and not to recover it is confusing unless lost in the snow, they presume that the body even though found in a hollow has moved down the mountain with the ice thawing out a freezing a number of times, this would explain the distribution of the objects some metres away from the body. (See map in article below). Tom Loy found 4 human blood samples from different individuals 2 on an arrow 1 one the knife and 1 on the cloak, Tom Loy sold the results to a newspaper as an exclusive rather than produce a scientific paper. Lars Krutak in his paper believes that the tattoos were therapeutic due to the use of ash to make the designs in areas of pain, difficult to prove as there is only one example. It would be difficult to judge the condition of objects after 5300 years, as too being dirty or the quiver broken and arrows in poor condition can only be speculative. Have a look at New study of Ötzi the Iceman suggests his preservation story was not a series of miracles I suspect we will never know but it’s fascinating 🤨

Been trying to get my hands on some coral for a few months now. Great video Patrick!

What’s the derlin mallet size for the wack em stick ?

Jack have you ever worked with Pure flint?

Beautiful.
