[Aztlan] Jasper for flintknapping

[D. M. Urquidi]

This is some of the information I gleaned about the jasper flintknappers:
   
  JASPER LITHIC SOURCE, NEW HAMPSHIRE: ITS SIGNIFICANCE TO PALEOINDIAN ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES while "at Lums Pond we know that the flintknappers were making spear points typical of the early part of the Woodland I time period (3000 B.C. - A.D. 1000)."
  Not to mention that "some of the flake debris left behind came from tools made of Newark Jasper. They also made new tools from rounded rocks gathered from the nearby stream banks."
   
  Might help with dates from other flintknapping, like the Clovis points.
