If the art of flintknapping has ever interested you come join us as we explore this ancient human practice. We will try to create stone tools by striking and shaping flint into usable projectile points, blades, or scrappers. Early human societies all practiced making sone tools by understanding striking angels and developing controlled flaking skills. This is a joint program between Webster and Hamilton County Conservation Boards. Register on www.mycountyparks.com on the Hamilton County page.
