I am assembling a chert core in this picture. Chert was used for scraping tools, threshing tools, and various other items. You would start with a large rock and flake off the pieces you need. I am trying to put the big rock back together. So far 4 of 6 pieces are assembled, but that was Dr. Goldman's work, not mine. :)
Hello! It's Jamie from the anthro. department. I was on the EWU website and ran across this. After you are done with putting that core back together you should start on the Sentinel Gap ones at AHS! :) ...I know that's at the top of your list! Hope you guys are having a great field season! Stay safe.
