Frequently asked questions

What is flint knapping?

Flint Knapping is a common name for the process of lithic reduction (knocking flakes off stone).

The technique is roughly 3 million years old and has travelled through our ancestor species onto us through the genus homo. Homo sapiens emerged in Africa at least 300,000 years ago from the species H. heidelbergensis. 

The skill has remained unchanged, the knapper uses a hammerstone (hard rock) to strike the material (in our case, flint), releasing a flake in a predictable and controllable manner. These flakes can then be refined into tools, known as Flake Tools.Alternatively, one can continue removing flakes until only the tool is left as the centre of the material stone, this is known a Core Tool, for example, a hand-axe.
