I began flintknaping in 1980 using aboriginal tools similar to what stone age cultures used. In the 1990's I transitioned to modern tools such as copper which is the preferred tool for the majority of modern day flintknappers. Over the past decade I have transitioned back to abo tools (hammerstones and organic tools) in an effort to more closely approximate ancient techniques and strategies. My goal in posting these videos is to demonstrate some of the tools, techniques and thought processes that were used by our ancestors. Early mans ability to work stone enabled him to better survive his environment and resulted in a shift from gathering to hunting. Making tools and hunting required more complex thought processes. This was our beginning. DVD's of some of these videos are available on my website at http://www.flintknappers.com/store.php?sid=Ng%3D%3D Check out my other Youtube channel: The Curious Nomad https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-KG7sUUfJjl92U4PgjTTNw
