A little long winded but worth the read IMO.

 I have not read the whole thing yet but found this to be interesting given the assumption by many that  paleo people did not heat treat stone.

"After the stone was quarried, tested, and percus- sion flaked into functional bifacial cores, the incipient cores were heat-treated to ensure opti-
mum flakeability. Heat treatment also ensured that all cutting edge produced from the core was the sharpest possible (but not necessarily the most durable; Rick and Chappell 1983:74)."

to sort out??
Hard to make out this guys position but the
disputed info could be helpful down the road.
