    I could learn from Phil all day. There's something about that accent, and the way he forms his thoughts that is just homey and comfortable. Like he's talking too you, not down to you. If he wasn't an archeologist, he would have made a wonderful teacher

    I have a friend that is a member of the Choctaw Nation and is a flint knapper, keeping the traditional skills alive. I sent him Time Team videos in which Phil Harding demonstrates his skill at knapping and he expressed admiration of Phil's skill and techniques. Now I have a new video to send him, yay!

    A wonderful look of satisfaction when that first blade is produced.
    A man in his element.
    Very nice informative video.
    Thank you.

      He may well be one of a kind.

    Facinating, putting the clues together to reconstruct an event from so long ago.

    They were as identical as 2 piles of randomly accumulated flint nappings could possibly be. Humans might have evolved in the last 100,000 years but the end results are going to always be the same. Chilling.

      Hmm, Phil's scatter had the distinct impression of where his legs were, while that didn't seem to be the case with the older one. Could that be the result of the knapper squatting on their heels or sitting on a bench, perhaps?

      Great observation. His legs extended probably accounts for the slight difference. Before Levi's and Hanes a person would maybe be more cautious where those razor sharp flints went flying.
