Interested in Facts about ROTH IRAS?
Great Buys
Where might I find flint or chert that is suitable for ‘flint’knapping arrow heads?

..mm.. ya got 2 outta 3 , going for ya there..
finding knapp-able stone is just a matter of knocking a chip off a rock and see if it fractures to the workable surface the indian appreciated.
Not all there choices were necessarily churt, or flint… they used other sorces as well.
Flaking off a piece will quickly show how a rock will ‘flake’ out.., and wether or not it will give you a potential fragment result that will be workable.
Any where you find fragmented, flakes of stones that arent in any other way explainable how they got that way, is nearly certin to have been done by indians, .. take the time to bust up a few simmular rocks yor self at places like that.
Wisconsin has some very diverse and functional material the indians realy apreciated, and it was not all flint, or churt… agate, felspar, mudstone, and sugar quarts just to name a few..
If a stone-flake will ‘chip’ on a ‘plain’ or to a molicule of thickness, thats good material..
