REPLICA TEACHING KITS
Each kit can be tailored to your specific area or project, and depending on availability, can be made from local materials. These kits have been used for hands-on training when identifying commonly recovered lithic material, as well as bone and antler implements.
These teaching kits have been used for a variety of purposes, including Chance Find Management Plans, training new archaeologists or Indigenous Field Schools, and as a useful reference collection showcasing various stages of lithic reduction and common tool types.
Reproductions are packaged in individual hard clear plastic cases with foam padding, as well as stored in an easy-to-carry hard protective case.
