Finding some rhythm in the knapping pit and got a few knocked out. Mostly Tx chert.





Got this piece of Sonora kinda thin.





And a couple knives that are ready to put together.

Great work on all those. That one is thin,thin,thin.
There are no bad knappers, only bad flakes

Lots of jazzy rhythm there. :)
They look like  points I would strap on an arrow.
Is the wide black one dacite and the red on Senora ???
thanks Zuma

Thanks Don. Of the 2 knife blades - the bigger is banded obsidian. The red is actually a piece of horse creek. The wide corner notch in the middle of the hunting points is Sonora.

Very nice, Scott. You have it going on, for sure.

Way to go Scott. The set is awesome. One of the most prized points in my collection is the one we traded for at the last Classic. Thanks again

Man you really know how to crank them out.  It was hard to see the awesomeness with the flakes in background.  But I know they are good.

Knapper, sounds like you need to work on your collection. >:D

Thanks guys.

Nathaniel I noticed that, but was trying to get the light right to make the background work. I'm afraid some of them just blended to much. I had the thought, it would make an extremely hard jigsaw puzzle.  :o

Thanks String,
Always learning something new here. :)
I am familiar with all your lithics except
the Senora. I don't know why because it
seems to have a distribution like Hornstone.
I always thought it was SW by the name  :laugh:

For a chert point that is extra thin ;)
