Root Beer Chert Part 4/9, Thinning With Antler Direct Percussion
Channel: Prehistoric Living
Date: 2022-10-13

Gaining steam with this piece and really getting it thinned down now at this stage. Setting up platforms mostly with smaller hammerstones and taking off the large flakes with a couple different antler billets, pretty much all freehand in this one. I'm really loving this Root Beer chert, I say that a lot but it really is nice stuff. Have to get more of it. 

Thanks for watching. Cheers.
