Following on from episode 3, James works through the thinning phases with antler soft hammers on a tricky piece of flint that throws up lots of surprises! This episode focusses on platform prep when using an antler soft hammer and how to improve your thinning flakes using the surface topography. The aim is a biface blank that could be used as a spear head, dagger or knife blank. These blanks were made and cached (or hoarded) in many cultures around the world.
