sloan dalton pressure flaking series Posted by: Flintknappingtips
Video duration: 559 seconds This series is roughly an hour and only covers the 4 major sets of pressure flaking on a finished, but stage 1 sloan dalton.

I kept it long though for the few people I know will really benefit from having the whole thing together. Related: archaeology, arrowheads, dalton, flaking, flint, knapping, pressure, site, sloan |

NEW hammerstone clovis 2.2 Posted by: Flintknappingtips
Video duration: 447 seconds I watched my hammerstone clovis video and noticed halfway through the 2nd chapter that the preform jumped forward in stage w/ no video. I had left out 2 clips that showed an important thinning series and a lip flake that is interesting to note.
