Id love to see a flintknapping for beginners series. How to find a good stone, how to create workable flakes, how to shape and refine them etc. (I don't know enough about knapping to outline the steps but I'd like to learn)

Absolutely. Great idea.

@ericdavis1438 2 года назад

When you mentioned finding stone in riverbeds, I remembered a key point about that. You want the stone you find in the riverbank and must dig out. It will be higher knapping quality than the stones taken from the riverbed. Riverbed stones tend to have lots of a features I call "incipient fractures" ( undesirable natural cracks from tumbling, usually by force of flowing water ). Big thanks for getting me fired up again. It's about time for me to teach my 12 yo daughter some flintknapping.

I was told to listen to them. Look for anything unusual or different colored. A ton of places all have a similar runoff with similar stones. Take suspect stone and give it a tap. My most recent finds were that white knife in Wyoming and that crystalized Jasper in the stream in Idaho.

I go out in the Arizona high desert Arrowhead hunting . Last month I found a huge peace of an old spearhead. It is bright blood red. I also found a mini Arrowhead in this same color. Like you said, Glassy, waxy and shiny. Very nice but not from here . Do you know what it might be ? I'm curious about where the original tribes may have gotten it !

@PorchHonkey Год назад

I'm far from an expert. But it may worth searching jasper mines or quarries in eastern Pa.(Vera Cruz Lehigh County) and Western New Jersey. I have come across info about this particular jasper that said it was a highly sought after material. That it was often used in trade. And that artifacts made from this particular jasper have turned up throughout the northeast,the entire eastern seaboard,Great lakes region,Mississippi River, and the gulf coast as far as Texas. It was found in multiple colors red being one of them. Don't know if this is of any help, having not seen your point. But I have a chunk of this jasper that is a shade of red somewhere close to what they'd use to paint a barn.

@slackwater5093 2 года назад

Rivers, waterfalls and cave systems along the niagara escarpment are good places for a beginner to start looking for chert. Lots of easily accessible areas are picked over, typically need to hike or follow a water source to find good samples. Bring a small hammer, chisel, gloves and eye protection. Bang around on some promising looking rocks and look for sparks and conchoidal fractures. Once you get out there and smash some rocks you'll get a hang of which ones to look for. IME typically what you will find around here is lower grade chert, unless you get lucky you probably won't find anything super glassy and flakey similar to the obsidian etc you see here. There are also different types of chert in different areas of ontario for example Onondagan vs Ancaster chert etc so what you will find may vary by location. Lots of resources online and most major cities seem to have knapping groups etc that could show you the ropes
