THE ART AND SCIENCE OF FLINT-KNAPPING

Archaeologist and flintknapper Oscar Maisel uncovers the multifaceted background of flintknapping through flint tools. Using historical artifacts from our Emory Strong collection placed next to Oscar’s step by step recreations of a Northern Side-Notch Knife and a Columbia Plateau Point, The Art & Science of Flintknapping revives a forgotten artform and way of life. Maisel’s expertise shows how humans honed the skill of turning raw material into essential tools.
