WOODY BLACKWELL BIFACE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CD: "FLINTKNAPPING, THE ART OF THE ANCIENTS"
This corner notched biface was made by Woody Blackwell.
Woody describes the different stages-of-manufacture in his
flintknapping instruction CD called "Flintknapping, The Art of
the Ancients."
This biface
exhibits several different manufacturing processes.
One of the notches and part of the edge is finished. But other
areas of the biface have been left unfinished. One of the blade
edges has three good examples of isolated platforms that have
yet to be removed with pressure. There are also examples of
edge serrations, percussion and pressure flaking and an isolated
platform located in the center of the base. |
