My archaeology class this morning consisted of a demonstration of flint knapping -- well, okay, they were actually using obsidian more than flint, but same idea, just prettier. *tap-tap-tap* *CRACK!*
Now I wanna go break rocks too. Apparently we'll get to use many of the same techniques in lab on Thursday, but we'll be using a "fairly soft rock-like material" -- rumor is that the material in question is chocolate. At least the flake scatter won't be a complete waste, there.... :)
