Flintknapping is an ancient craft enjoying a resurgence of
interest among both amateur and professional students of
prehistoric cultures. In this new guide, John C. Whittaker offers
the most detailed handbook on flintknapping currently available and
the only one written from the archaeological perspective of
interpreting stone tools as well as making them.
Flintknapping contains detailed, practical information on making
stone tools. Whittaker starts at the beginner level and progresses
to discussion of a wide range of techniques. He includes
information on necessary tools and materials, as well as
step-by-step instructions for making several basic stone tool
types. Numerous diagrams allow the reader to visualize the
flintknapping process, and drawings of many stone tools illustrate
the discussions and serve as models for beginning knappers.
Written for a wide amateur and professional audience,
Flintknapping will be essential for practicing knappers as well as
for teachers of the history of technology, experimental
archaeology, and stone tool analysis.
