Heat treating was used to improve knapability...If that's a word! Heat treating seems to have started in middle archaic times and more widely used in woodland time. A dovetail or Clovis made with heat altered material is a Red flag!! The blades are Bayport chert...The pink one is heat treated. The Snyders is heat treated burlington.
