Flintknapping: Making and Understanding Stone Tools

This book is a combination of narrative history, personal annecdotes and how-to guide. It really does fully cover the whole topic of flintknapping from paleolithic beginings, to intricate highly detailed stone-age arrows through industrial age gunflints to modern craft practitioners.

With a global reach, Whittaker shows typologies and methodologies and shows how reconstructive archaeology has brought a new understanding to the discovery of 'elf stones'.

However, it is in the how-to sections that this book really surpasses all others. Using it as a reference, you too will be able to produce arrowheads, knives and other implements just like your ancient ancestors did.
