I clicked on this because I though I recognized the material. You mentioned the Fort Payne formation and Tuscaloosa gravel so I’m assuming it’s from more northern parts of Alabama. I’m more southeastern Alabama, but I see rock that looks like this often and have been trying to figure the origin. Once I found some local Chert and heated it and it looked similar but I still don’t know if it’s the same.
Sir, I have hunted Indian Artifacts for over 50 years and about 15 or so years ago I started hearing about heat treated projectile points. I can understand the heat treatment of metal, but why rock? You mentioned color and I can see that. Thanks, I'm learning a lot. David
rock that is exceptionally hard or grainy can be drastically improved with heat treatement. It can make grainy rock much for slick and glass like which breaks easier and sharper
Ryan you are exceptional at sharing information that is often overlooked. Thanks for taking the time to share the details
Friday morning are so much better with these flint knapping tutorials this channel is so cool
Thank you for the good content. I have a bunch of antlers and I'm starting to get into knapping. Have some obsidian and local rocks/stones.
Well this is a pleasure to wake up to, love your work
Thanks very much man!
...you the MAN!!!! Greetz from France (for the season)😄
Seriously enjoying your channel. Great work!
I keep trying to make my own and this video just revealed why I'm having trouble so thanks for all the tips bro
Great video as always and helpful to me cause I was stuck
Interesting. I live about 30 miles from Okmulgee mounds in Macon GA. It could be said this point is local to me.
Great looking point
Happy Friday
Love it!
Never thought about women flint knapping but it makes sense. Their good hand eye coordination and fine motor skills would apply well.
