Title: Free online reference guides?
Post by: Sasquatch on December 05, 2014, 10:37:13 am

Are there any free online reference guides?  I am pretty sure I'm getting a hard copy for Christmas but wouldn't mind looking things up right now.

Can you be a little more specific? Reference to arrowhead types?

lithic casting lab.
Google it.
They sell cast of some of the best points ever found and if you buy a cast you can hold it, study it and try to replicate it.

Google Mike Lynn flint knapping book.  Mike is a great guy he put this info together you can download it for free or he may be able to get you a hard copy. He only charges actual cost to print it. Good luck
