<p class="AINWNormal"><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style","serif"">Archaeological Investigations Northwest, Inc. (AINW), is offering an introductory course in flintknapping and lithic technological analysis - an intensive immersion into the subject.
The workshop focuses on learning how to apply flintknapping experimentation results to interpretation of the archaeological record. The training emphasizes hands-on production and analysis of flaked stone tools and debitage. Participants are taught several
technologies (including core, biface, bipolar, and blade technologies), and learn to recognize and identify the distinctive manufacturing products and by-products of each.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="AINWNormal"><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="AINWNormal"><span style="font-family:"Bookman Old Style","serif"">The workshop is one week in duration (April 24-28, 2017). Daily instruction alternates between flintknapping and identification and analysis of technologically diagnostic attributes
of debitage and tools. During the workshop, each participant produces a study (comparative) collection of technologically diagnostic tools and flakes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
