| 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. This production includes various types of Bone and Shell Tools as well as various Fiber and Textile Replicas. All these tools and other artifact replicas are excellent for either educational display or actual experimental use. This allows for the most effective form of hands-on teaching without endangering priceless artifacts. Those which Dr. "Arizona" has mastered the regular production of are available for purchase on the linked pages.
