Pfeilspitzen aus Stein: Workshop zur Herstellung von Steinwerkzeug

Inspired by the exhibition Further Reductions by Nina Könnemann at Haus am Waldsee, participants in this workshop will immerse themselves in the world of Stone Age craft techniques. Using methods from experimental archaeology, they will learn how to make tools from obsidian and flint - such as arrowheads, as they were made thousands of years ago. Step by step, basic principles of fracture mechanics are taught and various stone working techniques are tested in practice.

Instructor: Elena Moos
The workshop is in German.

Elena Moos is an archaeologist and archaeotechnician from Tübingen. Her research focuses on the replication and use of Stone Age tools and projectile technologies.
