Flintknapping is the art of striking stones together in order to craft a tool. That's the simple explanation. The full explanation is much more complicated, just like the processes involved in crafting a high-quality tool from simple stone.

This process evolved over thousands of years as our ancestors figured out which stones worked best for which tools, which stones worked best or knapping, and what other materials could be used to make a higher-quality finished product.
