Flintknapping: Making Stone Arrowheads
In this hands on class
students will be guided through the process of making obsidian arrow points. Using obsidian

people, students will learn percussion techniques for core and biface
reduction, and pressure techniques for finishing spear and arrow points.
Class demonstrations and discussions will include a variety of topics including the use of obsidian and stone materials other than obsidian such as flint and chert. The class is designed for beginners new to flintknapping. Students will make stone points to take home.
