Flintknapping and Lithic Technology Workshop Being Offered

Posted by Webmaster in general

The Kansas Anthropological Association (KAA) is offering a Flintknapping and Lithic Technology workshop February 17-18 , 8:00 am-5:00 pm in Lindsborg.  This workshop will involve review of rock types and how they are fashioned into different kinds of tools, hands-on experience with stone tools, basic analytical methods, and flintknapping demonstrations.  This is a rare opportunity to get intensive exposure to a key aspect of prehistoric archaeology and I encourage anyone interested in archaeology to attend.  (Further information available upon request.)

There is a small fee to attend - $10 per person, plus membership in the KAA (if you are not already a member).  Membership fees for a student for one year are only $5.00!  (Fees can be paid at the door.)

The deadline for this workshop has already passed, but has been extended for KSU students to this Friday (Feb 2).  If you would like to attend, contact Virginia Wulkuhle (KSHS) or me by Friday.
