I’m glad you enjoy the history part, that definitely where most of the work for these videos goes. I appreciate that statement, thank you!

Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m glad you enjoy my videos!

Thanks for the encouragement man! I’ll keep these coming

Thanks man! I think HuntPrimitive has a video like that that you might want to check out. I’ll think about doing a video like that in the future

I’m definitely planning on checking out more Coopers Ferry stuff soon. I’d like to do a small series of pre-Clovis knapping. And I’ve been wanting to do more Western Stemmed tradition regardless.

Thank you Josh! As of this month I’ve been knapping for ten years.

@@pathwaysofthepast Antone know where to find knappable rock in the Wimberley region? Im going to spend a few days around there and Austin. I realize the material wont be ideal.

@@pathwaysofthepast you're thinning techniques are excellent!

Thanks! This technology is distinct from Clovis as it lacks fluting. Also, there’s a good chance that this particular site may not even have pre Clovis deposits, the artifacts underneath the Clovis layer may be younger artifacts introduced through animal burrowing. Please see my video discussing the Solutrean Hypothesis. There is no evidence for a connection between the Clovis and Solutrean cultures and the similarities between those two assemblages are overemphasized.

Can't believe an archaeoligy professor would say that! That arch professor didn't seem to understand what archaeology is.

That pressure flaking tool does not show up in the archaeological record at Blombos cave. It’s a replica of a tool from a different time and place. While yes, a piece of bone would have been more correct to use to make this point with, changing the exact toolkit I use for every different kind of point I make is just a bit too impractical.

Jay, that hammerstone is cherty limestone. Yeah it was a bit small for what I was using it for in this video. It’s really useful though, it’s tougher than most limestone but still has a chalky grip to it

Debra L. Friedkin site, which is very close in proximity to Gault.

It is literally on the other side of a fence from Gault, downstream on the buttermilk creek less than 300 yards. If it wasn’t owned by different landowners, it would be one big site. I visited the Gault site back in the winter (there are periodic tours setup through the Williamson and Bell County museums). It is crazy to see the amount of flakes all over the ground.....just everywhere in some areas.

No prob, you can email me at abodude448@gmail.com

@@pathwaysofthepast thank you!

@@pathwaysofthepast I sent an email yesterday to you I dont know if you got it or not. Thanks Silas!

Hi William. If you haven’t already, check out my Solutrean hypothesis video. I discuss the most famous of these supposed Solutrean points on the east coast. If you know of others I’d be happy to take a look and give my opinion. As far as NE Asian points compared to North American points... archeologists currently think that people spent quite some time in Beringia before migrating to N.A. It was a good place to live in the Pleistocene. So I’m sure technology changed while in Beringia. Plus people have been known to make dramatic changes in technology forms and point styles. Dramatic changes in tool technology would be expected by people migrating to a new environment where they had different technological needs.
