    Mike Dothager has been experimenting with a replica of the Blackwater Draw ivory billet/burnisher. His copy is similar in size and shape but differs in material which is moose antler. He has demonstrated that a tool of this design can be used to duplicate Clovis style flake removals, when it's used as a hammer to strike a punch.
