@PrimitiveTechUK

RT @saltformarrow: So I got to hold a 1 million year-old quartzite hand axe (found in Zambia) at @PrimitiveTechUK's wonderful flint knapping workshop at @EH_Stonehenge. Touching this beautiful intact piece of tech made by the hands of a h. erectus person long before our species was a thing, just 😭, Oct 11
RT @saltformarrow: Also learned a lot, and (with help!) used pressure flaking to make this flint arrowhead, which happens to contain the fossil-ghost of a sea sponge. The techniques & tools of our ancient forbears, with raw material holding a memory of life in the ancient sea. My nerd-heart is full https://t.co/1JRPnfcAYs, Oct 11
RT @minibeastmayhem: Unlike gun flint knapping the business of making prehistoric replicas is very much alive & well with people professionally knapping stone all over the world. Including Karl Lee at @berrycroft_hub on #FlintFriday, & if you want to learn yourself… https://t.co/rnNJU1TPDS https://t.co/27GTIPisAu, Oct 3
RT @minibeastmayhem: The evidence of the gun flint knapping industry can still be found in the streets of Brandon. With professional flint knapper Karl Lee of @PrimitiveTechUK we found discarded & broken flints on the side of roads & in gardens. The industry produced a great deal of waste (debitage) https://t.co/e4F91jw8Qq, Oct 3
RT @berrycroft_hub: We are looking forward to having professional #flintknapper @PrimitiveTechUK at Berrycroft Hub this November. Karl will be going through all the techniques whilst helping everyone understand how & why flint breaks #Archaeology #ExperimentalArchaeology https://t.co/0t17dswrv8 https://t.co/HXxtW6IryV, Sep 9
