Making Stone Tools An Exhibit of Flintknapping Virtuosity Sarah Strowmatt

Research Question What criteria are used to measure quality in flintknapping? ◦ Virtuosity: The technical skill, fluency, or style exhibited by the maker of a composition. ◦ Flintknapping: An ancient tradition of making stone tools that is still practiced and studied today.

Thesis Statement I found that there are three main characteristics used to measure both the aesthetic and functional quality of a stone tool but those characteristics depend upon the aesthetic or functional context of use.

Methods Identification of artifacts through texts Photo documentation of artifacts Mike Dothager demonstrating how the point would have gone on to the handle.

Methods cont. Participant observation Artifact elicitation interviews

Characteristics of Quality Aesthetic vs Functional Functional: A work that can be considered mundane but still has a useful purpose. Aesthetic: A work that is meant to be beautiful or pleasing to look at.

Material Type of chert and heat treatment Chert: A silicate rock often used to make stone tools. AestheticFunctional

Shape Symmetry and ratio Aesthetic?

Flaking Techniques Direct percussion and pressure flaking. Larry Kinsella demonstrating direct percussion.

Conclusions My findings show that ◦ Aesthetic and functional purposes can change the how the quality of a tool is measured. ◦ The material can affect what techniques are used and what tool is made. ◦ The shape of a tool can be used to judge the quality of a tool and skills of a tool maker. ◦ The flaking techniques can indicate functional or aesthetic purposes and can affect the overall quality of the tool.
