Flintknapping Demonstration

Stone tools, including projectile points and knives, were and still are of cultural importance to the American Indians of the past and present. In partnership with the Arkansas Archeological Survey, we invite you to come experience this skill with flintknapper Jeff Gatewood. He will be demonstrating how prehistoric Arkansas American Indians made these stone tools. Attendees have a chance to try their hand at making and learning about the ancient methods of creating these chipped tools. All materials and safety gear will be provided.
