| Chert, slate, and nephrite tools |
I'm back in the workshop after being away for several weeks. After a bit of clean-up last week, I'm slowly working my way back into production. I've lost the calluses on my hands for pressure flaking, so I worked on a bit of ground stone after finishing a pair of simple Dorset Palaeoeskimo chipped stone artifact reproductions. When the set is complete, these pieces will go into a mock dig kit that I'm helping the Inuit Heritage Trust assemble. There are a few more Dorset and Thule Inuit pieces to construct for the kit over the next week or two.
