Stink, I know that the Lenape Indians used to make knives, spears and arrowheads from the fine grained stones around here. Flint and some other stones. According to legends, they used Flint as well as Chert, Feldspar, Quartz and Jasper. Bevans Rock Shelter in Sandyston is one of the places that they lived/stayed in (they were Nomadic) and they also got their rocks from the Skylands area (not far from me) as well as other places in Northern New Jersey. It's way too cold for me to go traipsing through the Skylands woods and mountains right now, but I'll ask my brother (who lives in Sandyston) if there are any places that he knows of near him as a source for flint.
