Great thank you Zuma

Hummingbird Point:
iowabow,

Not sure if your comments are directed toward Zuma or toward me, since you quoted both posts.  If to Zuma, he and I know one another well enough to take little pokes at each other.  He is as fine a knapper as I have met and in talking with him it if apparent he has done a lot of research and put a lot of thought into archaeology knapping, and other primitive skills.

If the comments are directed at me, I do not understand.  I laid out an example of how another group of knappers used the Scientific Method to come up with a solution.  The last part of that method is to "publish" so others can review and test the idea.  I am trying to convince Ben to do that, because:

I think he's on to something.  I understand (and deeply respect the opinion) that Caveman has about the flakes not matching, but that may just be a matter of tweeking the system, which is another reason to share the information. 

In any event, I'm going to be tied up for a few days any way, and have asked Ben for assistence in as many was I I know how, so I will shut up and knap.

iowabow:
ok guys if there is no issue then I am relieved.

Spotted Dog:
I by no means want to butt in , but I am amazed at all the thinking and science to knap. I am reading and watching everything I can.
I took a Burlington flake and some abo tools earlier today and made since of it. Got one point in. Not a beautiful one , but will work.
Trying to discern platforms and abraiding and such is a bit confusing but you all help.

Thank you,
Dog
