Module 3: Stone Tools

Stone was used as a raw material by almost all human cultures. For much of human history, artifacts made of stone are the only surviving artifact. Therefore, it is important for archaeologists to understand how stone tools were made and used. The Stone Tools module is designed to introduce youth to how Indigenous people used stone tools. Stone tools have been made for millennia. Their production requires great knowledge about raw materials and how they can be fractured. This module will teach physics concepts.
