What is this thing?

Thanks George,,,I walked away from those with some good intuitive knowledge,,
Pecking stones could have been used as small Hammerstones,,,Hammerstones can also be used as the abraiding Stone,,,,/c

[George Looney]

yes comanche,,small hammerstones can be used for abraiders,,Marty calls this scrunching,,lol, but it keeps a freash place on the hammer when being used. pecking stones are harder and ment to cut and remove material,,like for making a grooved axe. Marty is a great feller and even tho he don't sound the part I'm glad to say he is a Ark hillbilly now.lol,,I believe he could flute a brick. did you see the Clovis after he finished it ??

[comanche]

Oh yea Super sweet I like how he incorporated Direct Precussion on the one face and Pressure touch on the other.The Hammerstone use to one flute,,then using the lever action on the other one////c

[George Looney]

Yes,,thats called indirect percussion,, makes alot of sense,,,that way you just put the punch right where you need it on the platform,,and then hit the punch with a hammerstone or antler billet.Kinda duz away with the old saying,,looking where you hitting,,,or hitting where your looking..lol
