This technique might work for splitting antique glass telegraph wire insulators. Ishi made at least one example you can view online it is aqua blue. This glass is very brittle and takes great skill to even attempt. Otherwise a diamond tile saw to cut in half and use the insulator sidewalls.

My man is missing fingers. I'm gonna use a hammer and a vice with a hard backing, lol.

I find pressure flaking harder than doing percussion flaking. I don’t know if it’s the way I’m doing it or what

A video of this technique without any other sound or talking would be great for the ASMR crowd.

I was just thinking about what he would say when he smashes his hand.

Wouldn't a Nutting stone with it's round hole work ??

Brilliant

Thanks great information

Just ran across this almost 9 year old video & really interested as I've found numerous "suspect" scrapers of similar quartzite river cobble. This really lends some credibility that what I've found is perhaps not natural chips. What I WOULD very MUCH like to see is once this bipolar break is made, where does it go from here, i.e. knapping the other side to make a tool? Can anyone point me to a video?

I’ve watched quite a few videos on bipolar flaking, and I finally realize something fantastic recently. I actually discovered a couple of anvil stones at an archaeological site, and in the spirit of experimental archaeology (and trying to learn about our ancestors), I used one of the stones with another large river cobble as the anvil and hammer to split quartzite pebbles. I was able to make a biface with an even centered edge all the way around, using nothing but bipolar percussion. I was able to control it relatively well, and depending on the angle, when I hit the pebble it would cause the flakes to pop off of the opposite end, or the end that I was striking from both sides. I was delighted when I had finished with it, and it gave me a lot of understanding about some of the artifacts I have recovered from this area.

Your doing it wrong

I have pounds of these tools from colorado..

Who is here for anthro optional 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Early man knew this over two million years ago.

The beginning could be an album cover

Thank you, UA-cam. This recommendation is a fantastic lead-in to the entire ANTH3201 series. 10/10.

Now we know what happened to his fingertip 😉 Great video

very interesting, seems like a lot of pre req knowledge, id like to learn more about this, any suggestions?

really cool

More demo, less preamble.

Aisa pathar mere pass bahut hi Vicky Karega customer ne mil rahe

I will be checking local broken stones for tell tales of having been knapped. Thanks

Thanks sir..u solved my query..

Priceless knowledge. Thank you for keeping it from extinction....

How can this be implemented with regular flintnapping? You have given me a few ideas.

good video historicans..!!!

A lefty! Yes!!!

I've never been so proud of someone for successfully banging rocks together. Great job sir. Time to pack my bags and move somewhere with an abundance of obsidian

No disrespect because I'm sure he has plenty of knowledge in his field, but I would love to go to college for banging rocks together

Bro where is your right middle finger tip

I have used the ponch on my left hand , the stone on my lap and holding the stone down with the palm

All these guys have sticking plasters and a lot of patience

Well, I wasn't impressed. You need to check out this video, ua-cam.com/users/results?search_query=jerry%27s+blade+core ...........

Very nice demonstration

Been nice to see someone doing it with pressure and shorter tools. I'm a firm believer that all of this over thinking that you must use indirect precision for everything is very over rated. A little bit of finesse and leverage coupled with the strength of working to survive and being taught by your father how to do this makes a huge impact on continued success. Remember they had to do this to survive so success was paramount as was keeping it simple and effective with whatever worked and was readily available.

Very nice demonstration.. I'm still struggling to find archeological evidence of antler billets though... Seems rather rare and soft hammer stones seem much more used

There are people that flake toward their body?!?!

Lol, soft hammer is so goddamn useless, all you need is a anvil stone to reduce your flake against, it's far more stable and comfortable than using bones against your hand (you may even end up cutting yourself with the flake) and big, "squarey" stones usually offer a bunch of features that can aid in the reduction process and may even be used for filing and polishing. I seriously can't understand how no one of these "experts" haven't come up with the dumbest idea ever of simply getting an anvil stone.

The problem I see with this technique is the fact that ancient peoples did not sit in chairs. They definitely used punches though. I don’t know exactly how they were being used,but it was not this way.

Make yourself a paire of tweesers to hold the cobble. Wiyjba split branche

This is awesome video, thank you! oh btw Dr.JL is so hot!

I have really enjoyed watching and learning from the great teacher and flintknapper Jason Roe.....I hope to see more of his videos.....if you could tell me how to do this, please let me know....thanks.

Man....keep them coming....I might finally get there with your help...thanks

This is lit

This is great! thank you!

Is that a tattoo of a wedding ring? lol

I have mad respect for this guy's experience and interest in his field, but man he sounds like the G-man

"You rang master!"

every speck was precious. no such thing as debitage.

Great Video. I would add that "Collecting your debitage whenever possible and putting it in Coffee cans for disposal will identify it as non artifact. Thanks for the safety statement here.
