Laminar Core Technology - Making Flint Blades for #KnapTime (E5)

Knap along with experimental archaeologist, Dr. James Dilley, for #KnapTime to learn how to setup a laminar blade core and detach blade using in-direct percussion. This type of stone tool technology became widespread during the Upper Palaeolithic with the appearance of anatomically modern humans (us!). Blade cores take a little effort to create and maintain, but offer a variety of options for producing different tools such as scrapers, projectile points, knives and more!
