OBSIDIAN -- A Glass Buttes Adventure Modern flint knappers and
ancient cultures all make use of Obsidian as a natural resource.
This volcanic glass was one of the finest stones for making knives,
dart and arrow points, and other cutting tools ... used for
thousands of generations by our ancestors. In the United States one
of the lesser known sources of obsidian is Glass Buttes in eastern
Oregon. For several years late in the twentieth century and early
in the twenty first century, an annual Workshop for flint and
obsidian knappers of all skills from all over North America was
hosted on the high slopes of Glass Buttes. This book shows you an
up close and personal look at the activities involved in quarrying
obsidian and making stone age tools in the Space Age. Join us for a
few days of breaking rock in the beautiful and primitive wilderness
of the desert and mountain areas of eastern Oregon. You'll see why
many knappers made the journey to Glass Buttes, and returned as
often as they could. OBSIDIAN -- A Glass Buttes Adventure.
