    Just ran across this almost 9 year old video & really interested as I've found numerous "suspect" scrapers of similar quartzite river cobble. This really lends some credibility that what I've found is perhaps not natural chips. What I WOULD very MUCH like to see is once this bipolar break is made, where does it go from here, i.e. knapping the other side to make a tool? Can anyone point me to a video?

    I’ve watched quite a few videos on bipolar flaking, and I finally realize something fantastic recently. I actually discovered a couple of anvil stones at an archaeological site, and in the spirit of experimental archaeology (and trying to learn about our ancestors), I used one of the stones with another large river cobble as the anvil and hammer to split quartzite pebbles. I was able to make a biface with an even centered edge all the way around, using nothing but bipolar percussion. I was able to control it relatively well, and depending on the angle, when I hit the pebble it would cause the flakes to pop off of the opposite end, or the end that I was striking from both sides. I was delighted when I had finished with it, and it gave me a lot of understanding about some of the artifacts I have recovered from this area.

    Been nice to see someone doing it with pressure and shorter tools. I'm a firm believer that all of this over thinking that you must use indirect precision for everything is very over rated. A little bit of finesse and leverage coupled with the strength of working to survive and being taught by your father how to do this makes a huge impact on continued success. Remember they had to do this to survive so success was paramount as was keeping it simple and effective with whatever worked and was readily available.

    Lol, soft hammer is so goddamn useless, all you need is a anvil stone to reduce your flake against, it's far more stable and comfortable than using bones against your hand (you may even end up cutting yourself with the flake) and big, "squarey" stones usually offer a bunch of features that can aid in the reduction process and may even be used for filing and polishing. I seriously can't understand how no one of these "experts" haven't come up with the dumbest idea ever of simply getting an anvil stone.

    take a second look at those cobbles. If they are like the stuff around here (mostly quarts), they will all have triangular divots. Have you seen these, or do you know how they were formed? It almost seems,like,they had metal chisels... I'm seeing a lot of stuff that seems river worn after intentional shaping. I really want to see some microscopic analysys... I'd swear most are actually multi-form effigies! I have an old piece of trade obsidian. It's been worked all over, if you like, I'll make some pics or a vid... you can probably decipher it better than I. In fact, I'd love to maybe send you some footage, and hear your commentary overlay. Maybe I can do one, with my amateur take, then you can reuse the footage and just mute my sound... idk... If you are interested let me know.
