Title: Let's see pics of your smallest points.....
Post by: billy on November 29, 2007, 11:42:17 am
Hey everyone, I've always loved those litte, intricate, mean looking "bird points" that are really small.  Everyone seems fascinated with giant stone blades or Clovis points that are 7 inches long and made from exotic, colorful chert.  But what about the little screamer arrowheads that are so fine and intricate that it takes a magnifying glass to see the flake scars?  That's what I like.   Any of ya'll who can make those little points, be proud!  Post some pics!  Go against the crowd, shun those who take a giant piece of stone and only make one point out of it.  I want to see examples of your finest flintknapping in miniature!

Have you guys ever tried the tiny Mesolithic microlith points found in Britain?
