Hunting techniques
Spear-thrower, bow, sling and traps.
For town councils and organisers
One of humanity’s oldest crafts, live
Flintknapping with antler, bone and wood, fire-making and prehistoric life explained for all audiences.
The demonstration
I show the knapping process live using natural tools —antler, bone and wood— to make scrapers, arrowheads, spearheads and knives.
And I show how they were really used: stripping a stick with a flint blade or drilling with a flint-tipped bow drill.
It includes fire-making with techniques from different eras: from wood and stones to the medieval iron striker.
