Silas! Thoroughly enjoyed your knapping and talk of the San Patriece point and people. Love your meticulous attention to the base and edge. Thanks for posting this in this way. Take care.
Your flaker looks to be holding up really good. I think I'm gonna try a sliver moose antler in the one I made . I'm glad you did the video making it because that's the only reason I've got one now . Great point too. Your skills are growing strong .
The article says the source for the obsidian is the Mineral Mountain Range? It’s discussed in the article by Penvy (listed in the credits) and is available on Google Scholar I do believe
@@pathwaysofthepast found the paper and confirmed. It's what I suspected. There are "more or less" two types there. Since that tool looks semi-transparent and banded I can fairly safely infer it's "Wild horse" obsidian. I believe I sent you a chunk of that. It's very soft stuff, IMHO, but was a particular favorite of paleo and early holocene people's of the area.
I always enjoy watching your work! But I have to correct you on a bit of inaccurate information you gave. As a hunter/collector in S. Mississippi of 30+years I have found quite a few San Patrice points. You stated that there a 2 San Patrice types when in fact there are 6!! 4 of which I have found here in S. MS. There is the classic San Patrice, then there are the Hope and St. John’s as you mentioned, the Keithville San P, the Geneill San P and the Leaf River San P. Mean no disrespect, just figured this needed brought to light!!www.projectilepoints.net/Points/San_Patrice.html
Thanks for your input! No worries. The journals I researched only mentioned the two types. I assume these researchers “lumped” a lot of types together. I notice that arrowhead collectors tend to be “splitters” into subtypes. I just chose to go with the “lumper” thing because it’s simpler, haha. But thanks caring enough to comment!
@@pathwaysofthepast Actually, it has nothing to do with collectors or what they call them or how they “split”them! They aren’t considered sub types. They were classified as valid point types by archeologists and each are listed in multiple point identification guides! Misinformation is misleading to those who are less knowledgeable and trying to learn, despite whether it’s easier for you to “lump” them together or not. There are at least 4 different Dalton variants as well....it would be inaccurate and misleading to state that there are only 1 or 2!!! I know it seems like I’m being a prick but please understand that’s not my intention. It came across to me in your reply that you were insinuating that collectors made up the other San P types I mentioned. The so called experts of the artifact world which includes professors, archeologists, historians and anyone who’s conducted extensive research on these items are the ones naming and classifying them and then producing identification guides for lowly hunter/collectors like myself. Again, you do great work with your flint knapping!! Knapping with abo tools is a testament to your skills!! You go to some great lengths to add commentary and informative tutorials for your viewers which is commendable....but accurate, substantiated information is important!!! I wish you ATB!!

San Patrice, haha, spell check no help here👍🏽
Great video! I really like how you narrate with the history of the point you are making!
Thank you!
.Wow friend, great technique, great result. A magnificent San Patricio point. Blessings on your way friend.
Awesome work, great history lesson, keep em comming
Thanks! Will do
I believe the relationship between San Patrice and Hardaway influence bears mentioning. Great video.
Yeah I don’t think I mention that specifically in this video. San Patrice and Hardaway are both variants of Dalton points.

Yeah it’s been working great! Definitely worth the effort I put into it. Might do another with stone tools. Thanks Jason!
Very informative, enjoyed the video!
Great stuff. Information to go with the knapping. I live in Maine. Not much to knap up here. Yet, people survived.
Mt. Kineo Rhyolite and a couple of sources of Jasper I think. Plus ground slate tools. They used the resources available to them that’s for sure
The larger notch type reminds me of susquehanna broad points I find in western maryland
good video! I like how you do a lot of research on very specific cultural assemblages before making a video about it.
Thanks!
that's a really good opening shot
Thanks Alec!
I'm curious which Utah obsidian had found it's way that far south and east. Do you remember the lithic source or the reference by chance?
