Dr. Hallett (Anthropology), Dr. Cerasoni (Biology), and ELEVEN LUC undergrads co-author article
The article, which was on the cover of the Journal of Lithic Studies, and involved work from NINE Anthropology majors, describes findings that help contribute to new ways of thinking about flint knapping. Dr. Hallett notes that in LUC’s Flint Knapping Club, “we learned together that it only takes ten hours of guided practice to learn how to make highly technical stone tools, such as arrowheads and bifaces, and that mastery is not gender specific. Both are contrary to the commonly taught principles of flint knapping.” Authored by Jacopo Niccolò Cerasoni, Christina Giudici, Kara Ehler, Lillian Befeler, Jasper Sha Benson, Luc Bieri, Jacob Boyce, Emma Elliott, Emily Fess, Kylie Lenz, Liv Majetich, Zophia McGuire, and Emily Yuko Hallett.READArticle Photo
