  • Analysis of chert to determine if material is an artifact or just a rock. A professional flint knapper gives his opinion of chert material found at ancient occupation site. Is it just glacial material or is the chert a tool or other type of artifact?

    I’ve been aware of this for almost a year now. It’s so intriguing. The land my house sits on is recognized as Native American territory. I believe you would be extremely interested in @BSshowtime ‘s collection of artifacts. He has studied how to recognize authenticity, and his large collection is definitely something to look at!!! Great work! Magical!

    i've found loads aswell as the rocks bearing the shells. Definitely shells smashed out of rock for tool use... very sharp!

    Great video and information.. extremely helpful..I have been arrowhead artifact hunting for 35yrs in western Pa just 40 or so miles north of where the last glacier stopped..I pick everything up that even looks like it might be an artifact and try and sort them out touched by a human or naturally broken from the glacier or from the farmers tilling the fields..fresh breaks are easy to spot but this video helps me sort out the other stuff..thank you for sharing ! ✌️

    Holy shit.... the crossover to Scandinavian artefacts is massive... There are some big holes in history, that's for sure. I've been finding tons of ancient artefacts on our family farm in the south of Norway, Everything from larger carved stone, seemingly forgotten megalithic sights, flint tools, stone hammers and axes, a copper coin, and all during my "free" time within the past months. Thanks for the useful info, as archeologists nowadays are steeped in the ideological explanations and oversimplification of the past.

      Make sure your artifacts doesn't say. Artifacts. Com. On them.

    Lmao! This is why we don't know anything about America's past. First of all what force in nature causes one rock to strike another with enough impact to actually break thr rock? Secondly what causes this same "glacial material " down here in Kentucky where there were no glaciers and the water flows North?

    Anyone aware of portable rock art in Missouri, and if the Sioux Nation made any? I have found a few pieces that appear to be effigies or some sort of tributes. All help appreciated!!

    Hi Chris. I love your channel by the way and just subscribed. Would you be able to offer your opinion on the plausibility that a grouping of stone items I have found suggest artifact vs geo-fact?

    Flood waters go down and I don't see a single freshly broken rock. What causes rocks to break other rocks? Please someone explain

    • @theotherartifactstoa776
      @theotherartifactstoa776 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You can drop a 10 ton granite boulder into 10ft of water onto the most brittle rock and it will never break the first rock. It will land just like it would on a pillow. I don't understand the people who came up with these theories and more than that I don't understand those who believe it

    I don’t get it what’s the purpose what’s the purpose I really don’t get it I mean I love to learn like a lot of people but digging up anything just seems to be a waste of time and no eternal purpose none at all,,,

    • @slapshot1x

      The material is from ancient Native American occupation sites. Thus is the material used by the ancients to make tools. There is cultural and historical significance to the study of this rock. It’s not at all a waste of time.
