| | 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 also includes various types of Bone Tools. All these tools are excellent for either educational display or actual use. This allows for the most effective form of hands-on teaching without endangering actual priceless artifacts. Those which she has mastered the regular production of are available for purchase on the linked pages. Use our Special Request Order Form (PDF, 57KB) to ask for a quote from Dr. "Arizona" in terms of replicating a specific artifact not currently offered here. | |

 | FLAKED STONE TOOLS These items are replications of actual generic artifacts for use in the classroom, at guest lectures or for museum exhibits. Here they are specifically finely pressure flaked tools. Several can be put to use themselves in their traditional manner or can be requested to be previously used for comparative analysis purposes or display. It might take two to three weeks for order fulfillment of these items. |

 | GROUNDSTONE TOOLS
These items are replications of actual groundstone artifacts, and other stone tools created by pecking or grinding. These tools are for use in the classroom or museum and can also be used for practical purposes. A large amount of time and effort goes into their traditional manufacture and order fulfillment time will reflect this effort. Specific requests in terms of form and material type can be fulfilled, just inquire.

 | COMPOSITE STONE TOOLS These items are replications of actual complete artifacts for use in the classroom, at guest lectures or for museum exhibits.

In such a way, these tools are specifically designed to be put to use in their traditional manner or, alternatively, can be requested to be previously used for comparative analysis purposes or display. Order fulfillment may take a few weeks. |
