    Default Knapping Research

    I am doing a research project in my Native Ecologies class on different tribes and their flint knapping styles. Does anyone know good sources for such a topic? Also I want to learn how to make stone/glass arrowheads, so does anyone know what a good beginners' guide would be?

    I don't know how much help you'll get here. Most of the knapping we do doesn't start with a k!

    We have a number of knappers on here so they can lend you a hand on getting started. As for a resource on styles here is a resource for you. Scroll down about half way to see the chart on different types of arrowheads, when and where they were made. Hopefully, this is what you meant.
