Microblade Microburin Microlith

Knapping Mesolithic arrowheads and cutting blades. In the first part I am knapping a few Microblades with direct percussion (Indirect percussion and pressure were also used in different times and places in the Mesolithic). Afterwards I use the "Microburin Technique" to produce an extremly sharp point on a microblade. I position the blade on a ridge on the block of the ground and work my way through the blades edge till the central ridge is met. At 2:28 the blade breakes along the block`s ridge to the point, afterwards I regularize the outlines.

My teacher was trying to explain what are microliths, Now I understand. Thanks. ( I know this channel is not made for teaching )

Excellent video! I should have watched this before I made my video on microliths! What type of stone is the hammerstone? Sounds like it is soft like soapstone.

[@Lindedelaciencia]

I would suggest you use some anvil stone, on which to wear down the excess material, its a bit easier and puts less strain on the hand doing the knapping

I have an arqueological site in Reynosa, Mexico, with a lot of microblades and limestone hammers. I´ll appreciate your advice and support of papers about that technique.

Hey Patrick, saw your nice vid! My hammerstone is limestone, and yes, it doesn`t get any softer!
