Basalt arrowhead custom flintknapper by George Lott, who is a member of the Massanutten Chapter of the Archaeological Society of VA. A student of Errett Callahan. George started being interested in working with flint as a child. He ordered an "Arrowhead Flint Kit" in the early '50s which had tiny bones to use to "create arrowheads". (He had an authentic 1950s kit to show us that he bought off Etsy). He practiced on his own and used many trial & error attempts learning his craft. Eventually, he took a short class taught by Errett Callahan in 2003. Errett (1937-2019) was a renowned flintknapper who taught in Europe and the US; he was self-taught for 10 years, then did extensive studies and research in VA, WY and Denmark to hone his skills.
This arrowhead was from an outcrop of basalt that Errett Callahan discovered and brought back pieces of from Arizona and special arrowhead.
