I am amazed by the skill it takes to make a flake tool.
I agree (I certainly don't mean to imply it's a crude technology) - stone age man spend 2 and a half million years perfecting the working of flints until he could make the likes ofhttp://www.thebritishmuseum.ac.uk/explore/highlights/highlight_objects/aes/f/flint_knife_with_an_ivory_hand.aspx
I have tried and got nothing but broken rocks and some nasty cuts.
I was lucky enough to grow up in a very flinty area, but despite a lot of practice as a kid I never achieved anything better than poor quality hand axes that even homo erectus would have been unimpressed by.
I always dreamt of making a nice neolithic-style arrowhead (I've found a few,) but I never got the hang of working with flakes.
I have still got the knack of making fire with flints and a twist of raw wool though
I never got the hang of working with flakes.
Oh, you'll get used to us eventually. We kind of grow on you. Like fungus.

They say that every life leave all sorts of "ripples" behind when it ends. What sort of ripples do you see there Glindar?
Is it just me, or was 'Jive Day' a little tacky? Would you want your African-American friends to read those transcripts, without your being able to explain their genesis?
