Knapping, or chipping sharp edges into stone, is one of the earliest known technologies. Millions of years ago, our ancestors learned to shape stone tools for hunting and survival. In this workshop, teens will explore how early stone tools were made and why they matter.
Teens will work with Dylan Flicker, a PhD student in Archaeology, to see how striking a rock in just the right way can turn it into a useful tool. They will safely shaping and using stone tools to understand the skill, precision, and problem-solving involved in this ancient technology.
