| | The Art of Flintknapping involves the production of many types of stone tools above and beyond projectile points. Dr. "Arizona" Gleason, in her exploration of this ancient craft, has thus attempted to master the production of other usable tools. These items are replications of actual artifacts for use in the classroom, at guest lectures or for museum exhibits. Here they are specifically tools that are constructed of multiple parts, especially multiple lithic blades. These tools are designed to be put to use in their traditional manner or they can be requested to be previously used for comparative analysis purposes. These are the ones currently available. Please directly CONTACT US or use this Special Request Form (pdf) to obtain a quote for the replication of any other stone tools you might be interested in. Dr. "Arizona" loves a challenge. | |

DISPLAY ARROW
This arrow is more for display than for use. The arrowhead is one of the many that Dr. Arizona creates. The shaft is simply a straight wood dowel. The fletching is either Turkey or Goose Feathers. The lashings use artifical sinew. This arrow will look great over your mantle.

OBSIDIAN HATCHET
This hatchet is not modeled after any particular artifact since an obsidian blade would not stand up to chopping work. However, hatchets with stone axe blades of this configuration have been found. This particular example is made simply for display and as a great conversation piece. The blade is a percussion worked biface hafted into a deer leg bone with leather lashing.
Item #LT016: $37.00
