We tried flint-knapping again. This time we had better tools and a more helpful youtube video. So I managed to make 8 more good scrapers. Emily actually made a point, although she didn't get it very sharp because it probably would have broken horribly. I personally preferred using antler for the fine shaping rather than the copper piece. The copper only seemed to make the rock shiny, and just didn't feel like it delivered as precise of a blow.
While we were flint-knapping, Dr. Knauth came by to do teacher evaluations. They're a required thing for every class to see what changes should be made in curricula and such.
We flint-knapped a bit more until lunch. After that I went back to my room to catalog some more artifacts.
