[OR_Archaeology] Lithic Technology Workshop Announcement

[POULEY John * OPRD]

Artifacts Talk Back - Learn the Language of Lithics

Lithic Technology Workshop

April 24-28, 2017

Portland, Oregon



Archaeological Investigations Northwest, Inc. (AINW), is offering an introductory course in flintknapping and lithic technological analysis - an intensive immersion into the subject.  The workshop focuses on learning how to apply flintknapping experimentation results to interpretation of the archaeological record.  The training emphasizes hands-on production and analysis of flaked stone tools and debitage.  Participants are taught several technologies (including core, biface, bipolar, and blade technologies), and learn to recognize and identify the distinctive manufacturing products and by-products of each.



The workshop is one week in duration (April 24-28, 2017).  Daily instruction alternates between flintknapping and identification and analysis of technologically diagnostic attributes of debitage and tools.  During the workshop, each participant produces a study (comparative) collection of technologically diagnostic tools and flakes.



The Register of Professional Archaeologists (RPA) provides continuing professional education credit (40 hours) for this workshop.  Register by April 15, 2017, to secure your spot.  Get additional information and a registration form from AINW's website (www.ainw.com<http://www.ainw.com>).
