All abo tools.  Pressure flaking.  Bison horn, veg tanned leather, whitetail deer antler, and beaver's tooth.  Heat treated Edwards Plateau chert.  The style of this point is similar to the "Bell" type found in Texas except the notches are not as deep as the Bell point's.

The lighting is a combination of firelight and a 13 watt halogen, soft white bulb about 3 feet away.  The camera is a Zi10 (Kodak Play Touch) attached to a homemade boom and set to "macro" mode (closeup). A stereo microphone is plugged into the camera and dangling from the boom.

I need to improve the setup to reduce camera movement, microphone dings, and wind noise.  :-)  Thanks for watching!

Flintknapping. Knapping rocks. Making stone tools. Arrowhead. Lithic reduction.
