Very well explained introduction into Lithic Technology thru the use of traditional organic tools and the fracture mechanics of various stone materials. Recommending Archeologist John C.Whittaker's book very good with the exception of some of the illustration's (1994 &1995 University of Texas Press). Thank you for this fine presentation.

A video covering some of the less famous tool cathegory artifacts, like notches, denticulates, retouched flakes and blades, awls would be great for novices and not just them.)
Ayyyy great video popping up a year later again 💪
Thank you, good explanations & close up shots of materials was very helpful. The graphic drawing are simple& less confusing. Good video.
Glad it was helpful! Many thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will try to get something out on that in the next few months.
