From Dirt Bro Jim
Fetrow in Portland, Oregon:
I recently found your site.. One of the very best I've encountered.
I go from the selection and cutting of the wood for bows and arrows
thru the knapped points.. Lithic reduction as it connects to the
artistry and functionality of our predecessors fascinates me.. I really
enjoy the 'experimental archaeology, from making & using atlatls and
darts to bows and arrows, stone knives, adzes, axes.. Amazing how practical
well-done stone
Anyhow, Here are several pictures of my small collection from our farm in central Maryland.. Rhyolite, quartz, quartzite, basalt, a bit of flint mostly.. Largest projectile points and knives in the shadow boxes are 4.25" long.. Also included are several pix of some recent work done by me, pressure
and percussion
So much history has been destroyed by 'greed-haste in the name of progress'..
Thanks Jim!
Bob
