Lithic technology is a reductive technology that involves removing flakes from a core of glass or cryptocrystalline rock, such as flint or chert, in order to achieve a desired shape, or to use the flakes themselves as blanks that the knapper can shape into tools. This video is a brief introduction to stone-tool technology with an emphasis on hard-hammer percussion flaking and retouch by pressure flaking.
