Now Available: an iGoogle Gadget showing Clovis Point percussion knapping

One of the fascinating projects to which flint knappers of all skills pay attention is to the making of Clovis Points.

I have heard from several new knappers who are eager to try their hand at this particular ancient style of making a spear head.

For those of you who have an interest along this specific line, a few summers back I made a series of photographs of a highly skilled percussion knapper as he worked on a large obsidian Clovis spear point. This took place at a Knapping Workshop at Glass Buttes in eastern Oregon.

These photos have been linked together for your viewing in an internet device called a "gadget" which can be placed on your home page.

This is a link to this new Google Gadget which you can load on your Google home page if you are interested in making Clovis Points or other flint knapping projects: Mikey Makes A Clovis Point

Thanks for participating in flint knapping and arrowhead making projects with us. Once in a while, I will be creating additional "gadgets" such as this one, with a new series of related photographs which will be of interest to flint knapping enthusiasts. For instance, I have already created the next gadget about Clovis Points to show the completion of the sequence started in this first gadget: Mikey Makes A Clovis Point. It will be available in a week or so.
