Flint Ridge Small Biface 2 - Intermediate Thinning
Channel: Prehistoric Living
Date: 2021-04-05

Doing some intermediate stage thinning on this beautiful second small biface of Flint Ridge, most of the good flakes came off with indirect percussion but a good amount of direct percussion was needed still. Next stage is final thinning and shaping, aiming for a Benton point to represent the Middle Archaic period of Ohio's prehistory.
