Part 2 shows how to make a Blade Core preform using just a hammerstone. The finished preform is ready to remove pressure blades using a crutch. This type of core preform is similar to those found in Meso American blade core workshops and are believed to have been made at the quarry sites and then transported to the workshops. In Part 3 of this series we will begin removing pressure blades using an antler tipped chest crutch producing fine pressure blades.

I've been a student of lithic technology and archaeology for more than 30 years; your videos represent the most I've learned about core technology over that interval. Thanks, and keep up the good work.

No problem. Obsidian is a 5 and chert/flint are 7 on the scale. So I guess 7 is the hardest I have worked. I am not aware of any rock with a hardness greater than 7 that is knappable.

I know you probably don't monitor this channel anymore, but I've read the essays compiled by Hirth that you recommend and it's fantastic. One surprise was that they find nearly 1/3 of cores are bi-directional. Have you ever attempted to build a bi-directional barrel core?

Hi, I'm very new to flintknapping and I still don't get or understand the purpose of the abrasions nor how abrading an edge affects the outcome of a particular stroke or blow. Any enlightenment would be appreciated, thanks.

Dan Holloway Abrasion is for the purpose of strengthening the edge so that it will not collapse prematurely before the intended flake is removed. An unabraided edge is sharp and may crush or collapse as pressure is applied, or as a percussion blow is delivered. A properly abraided edge allows pressure to build up on the platform or nipple until the desired flake releases. Hope that makes sense. Platform preparation an/or abrasion are critical components of successful flintknapping......

+paleomanjim do you find all that stone or do you buy it from somewhere? im in kansas city and we don't have desert area... at best i might find some flint type material, i really want to learn this but im not sure where to find the stone...

This is AMAZING! Is this ANY big rock I pick up, or is this a special order type of thing? I'm REALLY interested in learning how to do this!

Blade making requires high quality stone such as obsidian or top end flint/chert. Anyone can learn this, but it does require many hours of practice

What kind of rock is that and where can you get it
@saltysergeant4284
@saltysergeant4284 6 лет назад
So, you're shaping flat flakes off the bottom of the rock, each swing? You're shaping it, right? The blades aren't hidden in the stone, preset size and shape?
@paleomanjim
@paleomanjim 6 лет назад
The flake travel follows the ridges and is determined by the angle of the swing and force of impact. There is a strategy involved such that each blade removed will provide good straight ridges for the next blade removal to follow. Errors require corrective actions to restore the shape of the core.....

One way to begin removing blades from a core is to saw a rectangular block of obsidian using a diamond saw. Then blades are removed from the corners full length and the process continues around the core. I have never tried this, but I have heard of others who have.

man when i watch this i know you are good but i can imagine some indian guy from a thousand years ago doing this in his sleep you know haha.

lawson brady Yes, I think some of the blade makers in Meso America were probably full time blade makers based on some of the work shops that have been found. If you study some of the blade cores and blades they left behind they have a level of perfection that exceeds anything I can do. I remain in awe of their work!

I'm from Georgia and we find arrow heads and spearpoints but only thick blades so i don't know is the Creeks used them or not but still very cool.
