I just want to mention that I have been posting on Facebook as "KnapYucatan". And, I have been having inquiries from collectors who are telling me that my deer tine flaking, and my deer tine overshot flaking, look Clovis. And, some keep asking how I did it??
Meanwhile, I have flintknappers, and flintknapping moderators, who keep telling me that no one is interested in how ancient people made their points. LOL!!! Quite a difference in perspective!! Is "flintknappers not interested in authentic flintknapping" an oxymoron??? Lol! Maybe I should sell bumperstickers at knapins. Lol!!!!
So, here is flaking that collectors keep asking about...

Maybe flintknappers not interested in authentic flint knapping lost their "oxy"! Lol! I am just getting started with gathering tools, stone, etc. and want to learn the original way first.

That Texas rock?

Well, i doubt you get that reaction here. Can you show how you did that? I want to learn and do my knapping with tine work only.

Is that rock from Costa Rica or Belize?

Most Collectors are poorly schooled in knapping. :'(
How many honest archaeologist do you have saying
that overshot is even a Clovis technique and not
anything but a common mistake? ??? ???
Over shots occur in all knapping where large material is used. :-K
It's just nature of physics.
On the other hand being able to create them at will
is an other kettle of fish. -C- -C-
