Artifact Identification and Analysis Part 1: Lithics

We just learned about how artifacts are dated in archeology, so now let's get some more details on specific types of artifacts, their identification, and analysis. First let's start out with stone tools, also called lithics. Many lithics are objects called points, which could be the tips of arrows, spears, or darts. How were these made and how can we analyze them? Let's also take a look at ground stone tools like axes and chisels. Let's check it out!
