FlintKnap, Haft and Hunt with Stone Points. 

I started in the early 2000's

That's why you need a good solid chunk of quartzite. It's shock resistent. I mean IF you can get a point out of it anyway lol

Check your rivers. Might not be chert but there's a multitude of stones that flake and are overlooked by knappers. And some of them actually flake pretty good. Some might need some heat treating though if they're tough. Almost no exposed stone at all where we live besides some mudstone and some quartz/quartzite. Not the greatest stuff but it works. Our folks were known to use bone, shells, and sometimes even hardwood points as well.

Currently working on thinning

shorts are great for getting new people coming in

The waxed sinew doesnt shrink and grip the point the way real sinew does.

Hey Ryan

Creeks creeks creeks.

Not enough silicate purity?

lots of those rounded tips were scrapers, for working leather.

I have some really small point content out there somewhere, but also in my book The Secrets & Science of Primitive Archery, this is a very large subject within the book where we killed a lot of wild hogs with points as small as 12 grains. I think that is a book you would really enjoy and take a lot from.

Also, me or plenty of others can make them for you. More fun to do yourself though..

I think that if people are flintknapping near sites being currently excavated, they have to write in sharpie on their work, so it isn’t mixed up. I’m not sure though, so don’t quote me on it.

The rock itself can be dated. The age of the point is usually estimated by context, where was it found, etc.

almost all (in my area at least) archaeologists can tell just by looking.

Try some tv glass or bottles. Better than buying rocks on line that some folks can just pick up off the ground.

Porcelain floor tile, not ceramic tile

@@sticksstonesandalittlemeta3517 thats an excellent suggestion. It works much better than glass AND its already flat and thin. Great advice 👍

Where do you live? Are you sure?

Yea more rabbit hunt

Oh, I will respond to this one... Between all platforms I get far too many comments and messages to answer all of them. I don't make a living with creating the content. I run a full time business on top of it. I have had to prioritize my time into orders from paying customers rather than cut out a huge part of my day answering everyones comments and messages that are highly detailed in my books or content if they so search for it. I freely give a ton of educational content here on my channel. I spend hours upon hours working, filming, editing, and publishing for essentially free (youtube ad revenue sucks) so forgive me if spending hours giving free tutorials isn't enough for you (I also don't ask for patreon either). Honestly, I very rarely have time to even scroll comments between building product for those that order it from the website. Most tend to understand that I can be extremely hard to get a hold of given the amount I produce in a day's time. Content creation is not my business, it's what I give back to others for free.
