The more I learn about knapping, the greater my respect for the "old ones". I'll never be able to do some of the things those guys could do, but it isn't going to stop me from trying.

Nice job there. Have chunks of obsidian in every post hole I dig. Knapping is the only cheap hobby I've ever taken up.

From a guy that carves duck decoys, dabbles in painting and building models ( ie not completely hamfisted) and has tried napping, color me impressed. My 'attempts', though not many, only further impressed upon me how cool these finds are.

I've been doing this off and on for about 4 years and while I'm not good yet, I think I'm getting better. Anyway it is fun to do, people seem to like them and it hasn't made anybody mad yet. All good things...

Looks to me like a bone ax/hammer.

They used them to split the large bone to get at the marrow.

Is it sharper on one end. Hard to tell.
