My favorite flint knapper / archeologist!

[@pathwaysofthepast]

Thank you!

[@michaelwhiteside1011]

Love watching you knap, and the history lesson during. Appreciate the show, and in helping learn to knap myself

[@Youzack1]

Great video! Very well done!

[@JoeandAngie]

Upper East Tennessee here. Lots of the same. See: Gray Fossil Siite. Some crazy discoveries there. About 5 miles from my house, just off of an original old stage road and a warpath.

[@robertdiehl1281]

Very interesting video. Thanks for sharing this information. Helps to have view into what these peoples lives were like.

[@JackMorningstar001]

Good stuff!

[@jeffphillips73]

Nice work! What are your thoughts on the cactus hill site and artifacts. Has there been proof that they are still considered pre Clovis? I live in WNC and I have one of the points that I found

Greetings from south Carolina I find native American stuff a lot

[@erichhunterph.d.198]

Always seemed absurd when I heard archeologists say megafauns weren't hunted by paleoindians.

[@briefcandle]

Albeit a big morbid, but it would be awesome to learn what the points I've found near me were used to hunt!

[@zbom1]

I hope they were used to hunt dinosaurs!

[@MontanaRockSlayer]

Why do you feel it’s morbid?

[@mikedothager5600]

Like the fluting method

Excellent video

[@robertmclean9737]

Duh! Isn't a Mammoth mega fauna. Ever heard of the Colby site?

[@pathwaysofthepast]

Yes, though in the southeast US we don’t really have cool kill sites like in the southwest since the soil is so acidic. Plus, it appears that finding these blood residues is far more reliable than finding the conditions to preserve megafauna bone, giving us a more holistic understanding of what Paleoindian people were hunting!

[@robertmclean9737]

@pathwaysofthepast Clovis points found in conjunction with Mammoth bones is pretty telling isn't it. There are other sites where they found the same thing. Colby site was unique because they found a new point type, the Colby Clovis. They determined these points were simply rebased Clovis points. Clovis and Scott's Bluff points have been found in conjunction with Cody Bison bones too. Cheers!?
