Making a Flat Round Biface for the Cache
Channel: Prehistoric Living
Date: 23/05/2021

Not much to say about this one. Process was the same as for all the other bifaces in the cache. Take big thinning flakes with big caribou antler, some overshots, then switch down to the smaller deer antler and take the final thinning flakes. Once the edges are regular and the shape is somewhat symmetrical it's done, because I'm not moving down to the indirect stage for these ones. Went well, moving on to the next.
