More stuff that I have made.

 Spring seems like it may come, but it isn't getting much warmer the forty on most days still. This means that I still have to knap in the basement, for the most part. Here are a few of the things I have been able to finish.

This is a Gibson-Hopewell point. It is made from tough, raw Pedernales river flint. It was ABO except for the notches which were assisted by a copper flaker. The Hopewell culture did have some copper for pressure flaking, as has been found at archaeological sites. Here is a link to a prehistoric Hopewell copper flaker that was recovered: "Hacker Flaker"

This little goober is called a "Homan" arrowhead. This would have been used to hunt any game available to native Americans. This is made from heat-treated Arkansas novaculite.

This style of blade is called an Evans point. The stem (the contracted area at the base) is the main hafting area while the notches in the blade portion where either decorative or assisted the hafting. It is also made from heat-treated Arkansas novaculite.

A Gibson point from novaculite. This is one of my favorite points now.

A basal notch point made from black butter dacite.
