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

There's a knap-in at Millersylvania park every other month or so, if you want to go buy rocks and tools and stuff. I can forward you the next email I get. Alternately, caladri and I have a gajillion pounds of obsidian and basic tools, and you would be welcome to come visit us any time you like and play around with it, though we aren't as good as people you're likely to find at a knap-in, and may not be able to give you much help (in particular, I have very low finger strength from an old injury, and can't pressure flake reliably and thus can't really instruct you on it).
I don't have any actual flint, though, just obsidian and plate glass.
mmmh chocolate, sounds like my kind of flint-knapping
have you decided on what you are doing for your b-day? oh & if you are around on Friday eve, you should come laugh at me as I give my planetarium speech.
