Silver Sheen Obsidian Part 3, Breaking the Biface but Salvaging the Pieces
Channel: Prehistoric Living
Date: 2022-09-29

Well, as the title says, I broke this one... Sad, but that's the way of knapping life sometimes. I think the silver layer was more brittle than the rest of it, and that could have contributed to the issues I was having with step terminations and ultimately breaking it in half. Oh well, I managed to salvage a few cool little points out of the pieces, and even got my first little trihedral point out of the distal end of that big overshot flake from part 2. Moving on to the big Root Beer Chert nodule next, should be fun. 

Thanks for watching. Cheers.
