Lithics Analysis: Laboratory Trip 1

On Sunday, April 23, 2023, members of the FCE: Lithics Analysis course traveled to the Institute for American Indian Studies in Washington, CT,for a 2-hour hands-on Lithics Laboratory session. The purpose was essentially the same as for the first trip to the Glastonbury Historical Society, as a refresher for those who had made the first trip and an intro for those who were unable to make the first trip.

Included in the activities were...

1. A hands-on examination of Connecticut and New England regional raw stone materials used by the Indigenous Peoples to make chipped stone tools.

2. A hands-on assessment of debitage and stone tools applying the concets presented by Andrefsky and in our classes.
