About the Event

Have you ever wondered how stone tools are made? Join for a interactive discussion and demonstration how stone tools were made and what we can learn from them!

OSA Research Archaeologist, Veronica Mraz will be at the Bur Oak Visitors Center on May 28th at 7 p.m. for this program. RSVP to save your seat!

About the Program: 

Part 1: Besides the Point: Going beyond a point name and how archaeologists examine stone tools.

Veronica will discuss how archaeologist's approach stone tools and how we focus on so much more than just “what type of point is this”. For many archeologists, figuring out the point name is very exciting, but the point name is really only the beginning to examining stone tools. There is so much more we can learn from the tools and the by-products from knapping than just that.

Part 2: Short Flintknapping Demonstration.
