Lithic Technology
Фильм және анимация
Lithic technology is a reductive technology that involves removing flakes from a core of glass or cryptocrystalline rock, such as flint or chert, in order to achieve a desired shape, or to use the flakes themselves as blanks that the knapper can shape into tools. This video is a brief introduction to stone-tool technology with an emphasis on hard-hammer percussion flaking and retouch by pressure flaking.

Glad it was helpful! Many thanks.
Very well explained introduction into Lithic Technology thru the use of traditional organic tools and the fracture mechanics of various stone materials. Recommending Archeologist John C.Whittaker's book very good with the exception of some of the illustration's (1994 &1995 University of Texas Press). Thank you for this fine presentation.

Many thanks! I'm glad you found it helpful.
A video covering some of the less famous tool cathegory artifacts, like notches, denticulates, retouched flakes and blades, awls would be great for novices and not just them.)

Thanks for the suggestion. I will try to get something out on that in the next few months.
Put down the rock and grab an antler.
