Old Stone Fort State Archaeological Park will hold their 37th bi-annual Knap-in and Pre-historic Skills Event Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, May 3rd, 4th, and 5th, 2013 at the park museum. Demonstrators practicing the primitive skill of spear point or arrowhead making, otherwise known as flintknappers, will be present Friday morning through Sunday afternoon. Use of the atlatl or spear-throwing stick will be taught Friday afternoon and all day Saturday with international accuracy contests for the more experienced users taking place Friday and Saturday afternoons. Those that have artifacts that they’ve wondered about or wanted to know the age of arrowheads they’ve found can have a state archaeologist identify it all day Saturday. Other programs during the main day, Saturday, will include cordage or rope making from plants, pottery making, a plant identification and use walk, a talk on current research in Tennessee archaeology, and a guided hike around the Native American mound site known as the Old Stone Fort.
