And a few obisdian pieces. He used the three hammer stones to get big flakes, then the antler tips to work on it some more. He designed the metal tipped tools himself to do the finer work on the flint or obsidian. The leather was used so he didn't cut himself chipping and flaking the stones.
Today in class I was able to strike a really nice blade off of a core of Obsidian. My professor was pretty impressed at how well it came off, I told her “I just happen to have gotten lucky!”

Flintknapping ban has been lifted, I came home and started on this #normanskill #flutedpoint I should reshape it a little and one flute did not travel far at all?

Saturday, July 4, 2009 - Planting our first bed (with my mother-in-law) and doing a little flintknapping!
A friend of mine use to work at a automotive windshild factory. He brought me 2 12 pound chunks of glass to make arrowheads from. It should make a few nice ones, even a spear head or two.

In May 2024, Great Sand Dunes hosted a very special and unique two-day field trip with 4th grade students from the Jicarilla Apache Nation in Dulce, NM and Sangre de Cristo School in Mosca, CO. Students threw spears with atlatls, extracted magnetite from the sand, learned about traditional crafts and flintknapping, listened to traditional stories, and hiked to a 500-year-old ponderosa pine that was peeled for food and medicine by tribal ancestors in the 19th century. Sessions were all led by Jicarilla Apache tribal members, including elders, artists, and Great Sand Dunes Park Ranger Jaiden Garcia of the Jicarilla Apache Nation. Rocky Mountain PBS filmed the field trip as part of the creation of a curriculum about Jicarilla Apache culture, ecological practices, and history for Colorado 4th grade students.
