jesse can tell us what the materials are. everything was done with hammerstone including the flutes. the pieces with multiple flutes were done with indirect percussion. used a rock punch to drive relief flutes to see if the flutes would travel further. they did unless i created a step..

this one had a full flute on one side and the other traveled half way. decided to flute from the tip and got a wierd bump fracture on one side. used a small stone to do pressure flaking
