The
Best of Chips, Volume 3, 2004-2009. In this third Best of CHIPS we have 26 entries from CHIPS
Volume 16, Number 1 through Volume 22, Number 3. Though fewer in number,
the articles are longer and more in depth. There are 9 dealing with tools, from
rock saws, copper boppers and hammer stones to pressure flakers, including D.C.
Waldorf's extensive piece on “Copper Versus Antler.” Lithic resources covered
are Australian Mookaite, Peoria
chert, and some weird computer chip material. Those dealing with point types
are: “Fluted Drills and Reamers from the Vail Site,” “Meadowood Points,”
“Columbia River Gem Points,” ”Some Late Woodland Notched Points,” “Early
Archaic Bifurcated and Lobbed Base Points,” Afton Points, and “Notching: An
Overview” which is an extensive article on the different types of notches, how
they were made and the tools used. Also, we have three very good articles on
foreign points and tools: “Some Stone Knapping Traditions of Aboriginal
Australia,” Marquardt Lund’s “Some European Palaeolithic Bifaces and Leaf
Points,” “Death in a Cave” about composite bone and flint points, and his
wonderful three part series on Egyptian Flint Work. Plus 18 Larry Scheiber
cartoons! Comb
bound, 117 pages, $22.
