Anything you can run a 1/2" or more flake with a pressure flaker. HEAT TREATING: Heat treat a few FLAKES of everything you got except HIGH GRADE Raw Stone, Obsidian, Dacite, Basalt, Hornstone, Sonora, Fort Payne, or Rhyolite. Start with flakes and spalls less than 1" thick for 200°F for 24 hours to dry it out. Then raise the temp to 275°F and hold for 4 hours. Let cool down for 12 hours. Chip and compare. If no difference, put back I at 200°F for 1/2 hour, then raise to 275 for 1/2 hour, then raise to 325 for 4 hours. Let cool down for 12 hours. Chip and compare. If no difference, put back in at 200°F for 1/2 hour, then raise to 275 for 1/2 hour, then raise to 325 for 1/2 hour, the raise to 375 for 4 hours. Repeat with temp going up 50°F until you reach 600°F or nice chippable stone. Whichever comes first. If no good result, or things blow up, let us know. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAGYNFgfTcM

In this video series, I use materials gathered from Native American campsites (in central Texas) to reproduce some points that have been found in the area.

The material seemed to be either very easy or very difficult to work with. All the pieces were previously worked to some extent. In my opinion, the good material was cached and the difficult material was discarded. They two types became mixed very recently when found and gathered together to form a collection of bifaces and cores. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXaAkawt_Fk
