2 credits (Fall)

Stone tools first appear some 4 million years ago and remain important tools for much of the human story. Due to the excellent preservation of stone, they are common archaeological artifacts. This course will teach students the basics of stone tool production and analysis. Students will use their experiences learning to make stone tools themselves to explore ways to analyze archaeological stone tool remains.
