How can you tell if a rock is a tool? Look for clues:
- Flake scars (from previous strikes)
- A bulb of percussion (a telltale bulge from impact)
- Patterns that aren’t random
When you see several like this in one spot, odds are it’s no accident.

Flintknapping is the ancient skill of shaping rock by striking it in just the right way. Using hammerstones or antler tools, early humans created sharp flakes & hand axes by mastering angles, force, and stone structure .
