Here in Savannah Georgia, we have lots of flint cobblestone that was used as ballast in ships that sailed from England, beautiful stone to work and doesn’t have to be heat treated. I’m enjoying your videos.

Many years ago, I went to long as an observer and subsequently did some field walking at an archaeological excavation site where they had done a bunch of test pits. The farmer who owned the land was about to put in a water reservoir. This was pretty close to the Chama river in Essex. They found a lot more than I bargained for. They ended up finding burials and structures underneath the stratified floodplain. the best thing they found other than literally thousands of lithics, was a hinge monument. It wasn’t made of stone, instead, it was made of oak logs that had been worked with stone tools. They were still able to make out the marks of the tools on the wood. they also found scrapers and lots of microliths, but I don’t think they ever found any woodworking tools. Not far away from this monument and the ceremonial complex further up the valley, there was a cursus. Between the cursus, and the hinge up on a hill was a neolithic cause weight enclosure, which was later turned into a bronze age fortified settlement. It’s still there to this day. Right in the middle of a business park. I actually went out there field walking a couple of times and found things laying on the surface which was remarkable. Best thing I found out there was a primary large Blake that had been notched at the corner and turned into a tool. To look at it, it wasn’t very pretty, but it was the hardest damn thing I have ever used. You can use it to cut meat, vegetables, and dig a hole in the Earth. It had turned color, and apparently had been fire hardened. Brilliant place though. The Chalmer valley. They found handaxe out there as well several years earlier. I think Essex was a hotspot when the waters began to rise, and Britain was cut off from mainland Europe.

I've acquired a nodule of knapable material. I can see where pieces were removed, it resembles a basketball. I can't force myself to knap it to oblivion. Something about it simply being in that state, feels alright to me.

I have been educated by you sir. Thankyou. Found myself totally transfixed in the skill and mastery you've shown. Fascinating how you talked about being ready for a piece of stone. You can feel them.same way about drawing and painting. Or anything that is creative. If you haven't already in other videos, could you perhaps describe your mental state as you're working with the Stone? Are you in a 'flow' state of mind? And without sounding daft, do the stones reveal strikes or shapes to you do you think? I've subscribed and looking to buy a piece from you're online shop.

you probably get asked this all the time but fancy selling some of that flint ? we are lithically challenged up here in the west of scotland .. i could chuck in some high quality aphiric pitchstone from corriegills on the isle of Arran if that peaks your interest ? i collected it during the summer after lots of research . the stuff i have is big and solid enough to get a few barbed or leaf points from which is about the best you can hope for with that difficult material ! all the best

Very nicely done ! Quick question : is soft hammer percussion attested for the Mesolithic period? From the examples I have seen in continental Europe, I have always thought that these adzes were only made by direct percussion with pebbles. Do you have a different theory? Thanks, looking forward to see this tool in action !
