Nice work! (Edwards?)

Looks like you have midline ridge development down well enough to be pretty sure of fluting success.

Now -- look at how far the pre-Clovis knappers at Gault were below yourt skill level...

You and I probably have better looking debitage piles than that... '-)

At 80, my hand-eye coordination is definitely "over the hill", now. But, every time I attempt a Clovis, I can still hear "Solly" (J.B. Sollberger) sitting beside me at Lake Belton -- saying (after hearing an end-shock "SNAP!") -- "See! I told you to always thin the ends first!" '-)

IMHO, teaching flintknapping to the next generation had a lot to do with human language development...

If you knew Solly then there’s a good chance we have met in the past, I used to hit the Texas Knap-in’s on a regular basis. We’ve lost allot of the old knappers but I’m amazed at the skills of some of the young guns.
