Just found your channel great knowledge its refreshing to see a rock hunter actually know what they're talking about when it comes to on the fly analysis
Interesting, indeed same stuff I been finding besides the killers. I have some real nice pieces like these and the ones shone at the start of the video. Notice the long spalls on those cores.... lol I'm sure you seen them brother.
@@jorgenfaxholm 😂😂 right, thanks haha! Reminds me of one theory I heard where they suggested all the tribes would get together once a year to mingle with the opposites. To keep the gene pool healthy so to speak!
@@9wire Hey 👋 thanks! There’s a few different flint sources around here. I do find items knapped on river cobbles but there was a few popular flint mines in the area 👍 some finds are even made on flint transported up from Belgium and Germany.
....really well done, the best on the net actually. Love sitting here analyzing lithics while watching your channel! Is there anyway I can send along a "tip" to help out with some petrol money or lunch? .... 15:50 cool to see that platform scar which I see here in Canada, for those "out there" this is not an eraillure scar as such but a scar created when the entire platform detached from the flake upon initiation - soft hammer percussion, I like to refer to them as "Folded Flakes"
@@Jigger2361 Hey Jigger, wow thanks for the praise. Much appreciated! Well spotted with the scar at 15:50. I actually noticed this when editing and you’re absolutely correct in that it’s from soft hammer percussion. That type of knapping is associated with the Upper Paleolithic cultures here (some of the earliest human feet in Scandinavia), probably the Ahrensburg culture on this particular site. I was going to question what you said about the platform detaching with these, but went to check an end scraper I have with a similar ‘eraillure’ before I misspoke - I was amazed to see the platform had shattered away! That’s some top shelf knowledge man! Regarding a tip, that’s very generous of you, thanks... Maybe I can set up one of those ‘buy me a coffee’ accounts in the future 🙏 all the best!
@@ARWMusic Hey 😁 no actually I haven’t! Even though I’ve done thousands of hours of field walking in an area with plenty of old military movements. Maybe one day.
@@BearlyOutdoors Hey thanks! 😁 It’s a good question. I’ve heard it said that knapping waste got thrown on the fire sometimes, similar to how we throw trash on the fire in modern times. One theory is that when it’s burned it becomes less dangerous, as in to walk on (like safety glass), but it could just be human nature. I do find a lot of it though and on big sites they just had large trash pits for knapping waste and bones. It also cracks and crazes with exposure to steam, so when I find burned arrowheads and microliths I wonder if they were in meat when it got cooked.. or if someone bit down on it and threw it into the camp fire. Cool to wonder about. Cheers 😊
@@flintingscandinavia1878 They cooked the projectile in the game they killed it then shattered. Seen it many times with real nice points all fire popped in fire pits...
@@creekcomber Thanks 😁 it’s not huge, beautifully knapped atlatl points like you Americans and Canadians find, but for Europe it’s good (and old) stuff.
Very interesting. We here in the U.S. Have close to the same as you showed... I call them pre paleo pieces. Seems the flake pattern then was long spalls the length of the piece very little side napping done. I post very few of these because of the look of the piece here people would say those are waste products..... However not the ones I keep there will be worked areas that are very noticeable. They used to have some on wiki under Big Eddy dig site in Missouri I think that they took some of that down but most is still there. Some reason they don't want the public to know early man was here in the U.S. also... Thanks for sharing brother. Check my channel out. Sometimes I get a bit crazy but that's all in fun. I DO know what I'M talking about with artifacts though.....
@@zzzzzzzzzzaper Hey Zaper, interesting what you say about early man in the US. Why wouldn’t they be there though right? Maybe just very hard to find that stuff. I’ll check out the channel when I get the chance 👍 cheers.
@@flintingscandinavia1878 - That dosnt even make sense, If you talking with an Archaeologists, just give him the bag of stones. And you even have recordings on how and where you found them, putting them back makes absolutely no sense. That would even help an Archaeologists. EAch bag you collect, put in a bag, put dates them, or number each bag. And every quarter, or 1 time every year, bring him all the bags, or let him come and get them if he wants... It can be simple and not any burden for you.
@@vargasjal2232 I had a meeting with archaeologists and told them I would bag the finds and deliver them - they said no and to leave them in the field 🤷♂️ trust me, I feel your pain, but if doing as they ask allows me to level up and work with those guys on larger investigations then it’s a win.

Great to see you back, always enjoy seeing man altered stone from different parts of the world😎😎😎
@@greatbasinman Hey again and thanks a lot 😁 glad to have you along for the ride!

@@zzzzzzzzzzaper some of the coolest cores I’ve ever seen 😎😎😎
Glad to see you encountering one specimen from the local tribe - and that Ziggy can keep her on the leash.😊

Nice to see yet another great one mate! Keep it up!💪
@@IAA015 Thanks a lot 😁👍
I love how youer dog helps you dig😂❤
@@troyshonkwilerjr7979 😂😂 he’s mostly just a pain in the butt
Hi Paul. Great video. Nice to see you getting out and looking. Cheers!
@@seandalgetty5873 Hey man, cheers 👍 hope you and your bro are making some good finds over there 🍁
Always fun to follow along Paul, enjoyed it 😁
@@danielflintknapping Thanks Dan 😊 one day you should literally follow along!
@@flintingscandinavia1878 that sounds great 👍
Dang I love the cores. So lucky!
Yep these Scandi cores are something else! Cheers :)
Very cool to watch flint hunting in another part of the world! Was the flint quarried from outcroppings or creek cobbles, etc?? Great videos! 👍🏻👍🏻
@@9wire Hey 👋 thanks! There’s a few different flint sources around here. I do find items knapped on river cobbles but there was a few popular flint mines in the area 👍 some finds are even made on flint transported up from Belgium and Germany.
Those blade cores are as cool as your dog !

@@flintingscandinavia1878 keep on truckin', buddy!... just reading more now on the Ahrensburg Culture - fascinating!
@@Jigger2361 They’re my favorite knappers! Thanks thanks.
awesome. have you ever found gun flint?
@@ARWMusic Hey 😁 no actually I haven’t! Even though I’ve done thousands of hours of field walking in an area with plenty of old military movements. Maybe one day.
New sub, epic finds and intro! Happy hunting!
@@masonmercmetaldetecting Hey thanks man, happy to have you 😁👍
Awesome!
@@evamarie5024 thank you thank you 😁
hell yeah brother come over to Kentucky and we'll go find some smokers!!!
@@IndigenousRelicSearch hahaha man loves a smoker! Cheers 😁 honestly I’d love to find some of those American lithics.
F.S. Do you know why some of the stone/flint you find has been “burned”? Great channel!

Heat treat for knapping ? No ?
@@zzzzzzzzzzaper That makes a lot of sense. I find plenty of other burned flakes that shouldn’t be in game. So it was something else too.
@@davelink1318 I have found heat treated flint but these burned pieces are far more damaged than for knapping purposes 👍

I'm a Artifact hunter in the Southeast US. We should do some trading on points
@@michaeldixon3562 Hey Micheal. Ahh I’d love to trade but it’s not something I can do with the laws here sadly 👍

Dont put the stones back ffs... If you in a farm land, and u pick up stone, put it in a bag or something, don't put it back into the field.
@@vargasjal2232 Archaeologists have asked me to do this 🤷♂️

Thought I'd see artifacts. But nothing but flakes.
@@mattmurphy4635 Sure there were a few flakes at the lake but arrowheads up to 8000 years old and other tools on the field 🤷♂️
