All abo tools.  Weather is slightly drizzly and around 55F.  Pressure flaking, direct percussion with hard hammerstone, and indirect percussion flaking.  Bison horn pad, veg tanned leather pad, and whitetail deer antler flakers and punches.  Elk antler billet. Heat treated Edwards Plateau chert.

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.
