- **Event Name**: Past in the Palm of your Hand: Flint Knapping Demonstration
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 28 Jun, 2025 at 03:00 pm – Sat, 28 Jun, 2025 at 04:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Watch expert flint knappers transform raw stone into sharp-edged tools—just like the ones used by the Mississippian people a thousand years ago. You will learn how projectile points, knives, and scrapers were shaped using only natural materials.

Featured Artifact:

  **The Beaver Lake Point**

 This rare, expertly crafted spear point was found at Dunbar Cave. Though we don’t own the original, its style shows us the artistic and functional mastery of early toolmakers in this region.

Why It Matters:

 Before iron, steel, and modern machinery, people relied on their hands, knowledge, and natural resources. Flint knapping reminds us of our shared ingenuity and deep connection to the land.

Ask the Knappers:

 * What types of stones work best?

 * How long does it take to make a point?

 * Did different tools serve different purposes?

Safety Note:

 The demonstration is safe to observe, but please remain behind the designated viewing area. Flying stone flakes can be sharp!
