Knapper's Guide to Late Paleo, Lanceolates, Dalton, and Others - Book 2 - eBook/Digital Version

In this new digital eBook format, D.C Waldorf presents his second volume in the Master Knapper’s Guide Series: This book covers most of the well known and favorite types from the Late Paleo and Early Archaic periods dating from circa 8500 B.C. to about 7000 B.C., with the addition of a few cruder lanceolate-shaped points from the Middle and Late Archaic that could be confused with those much older artifacts. Also, featured are a number of examples of reproductions and facsimiles made by some of the best modern knappers.

As in the first book, the author continues to present the fine, detailed illustrations done by his late wife, Valerie Waldorf. These are drawings of specimens that would be useful as guides and templates for modern flint workers and are surrounded by a text that draws attention to the details that would be of interest to them. Also included is a little background information on the cultures and sites that produced these artifacts. Some of types covered are Midland, Milnesand, Browns Valley, Goshen, Plainview, Allen, Angostura, Agate Basin, Eastern Lanceolates, Hell Gap, Eden, Scottsbluff, Alberta, Eastern Stemmed Lanceolates, Beaver Lake, Quad, Pelican, San Patrice, Hardaway, a large section on Dalton points, Searcy, Nebo Hill, Sedalia, and more. Also, thirty-seven modern pieces are featured followed by an extensive chapter on “Styles, Tips, And Tactics For Pressure Flaking.”
