[@josephcherney9066]

This is an excellent video on direct and indirect percussion of blades from a core. Thank you for posting this.

I've recently handled my first authentic artefacts. It's really cool to see and get an idea of how they were made!

[@humperdink46]

Great video man, I appreciate you posting!

[@stihl888]

Well done, very nicely done as usual

[@pathwaysofthepast]

Thanks Jason! Yeah I’d love to do some more work on Levallois technology

Take one of those blades and knap a parman for your next video!

[@pathwaysofthepast]

Well I did a Parman video a year or two ago, but I plan on doing another Western Stemmed tradition video in the near future!

[@chucklearnslithics3751]

@@pathwaysofthepast Hmmm... Good point. Maybe another type which is a blade to point type. Maybe the Coopers Ferry point?

[@JustEditingFUN]

where did you end up finding a source of obsidian?

[@pathwaysofthepast]

I had one of my arch friends from undergrad send me some, he lives in Cali and was able to find several sources!
