Knapped from a rare type of flint from upstate New York near Catskills. It’s called normanskill chert. The Paleolithic people used this material for their spear points 12,000 years ago. It’s wild that I managed to find some of this same material and flintknapped this beautiful fluted point! #flintknapping #chert #paleo #paleoindian #arrowhead #crafts #stoneage #paleolithic #lithic #flint ift.tt/2dyQja0
