Need Help on Flint Napping

[tomclark]

Works equally as well with African Neolithics boom.


Another example of how a hammer can be a useful tool for the modern flintknapper and those who buy/collect their stuff. This point has been ball-peened.


I'm just sayin' mu ha ha I have no use whatsoever for modern reproductions excepting scientific study, but I will defend your right to make 'em, even sell 'em if you want. Caveat Emptor from now on. Fool me once, etc..
This hobby has been ruined in many ways by unscrupulous or ignorant modern knappers (all pieces must be permanently marked) and fraudulent criminal money hungry sellers. Down the road after we here are long gone, many of these pieces will still be around and provenance IS lost by time or deceit. I collect agatized coral and quality cherts for their specimen value to me.
