    Brian Franklin and Paul Bowman persist in their search for evidence about how old the quarry site is. Continuing to look for a diagnostic artifact, they inquire about flintknapping techniques, styles of Paleolithic projectile points, evidence at other archaeological sites, and what types of tools are most likely to be made of quartzite. And of course, Franklin has an ace up his sleeve which may prove useful in the end.
