Quote from Ben's info

" NOT ONE OF THESE ARTIFACTS APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN INTENTIONALLY HEAT TREATED. Judging from the large numbers of unfluted, but potentially Early Paleoindian stage 2 and 3 bifaces recovered from the site, all stages of point production are well represented in this local RAW MATERIAL."

This includes HUNDREDS of Paleoindian artifacts (PAGE 3).  This also includes 224 fluted biface rejects (PAGE 4)"

Ben---To bad you don't show the INTENTIONAL OVERSHOT Clovis RAW material from this site.
If these dudes knew your secret, why so many failures??
Please respond with coherent, honest answers.   Especially about your failures in raw chert.
