AbstractAnthropology departments in universities and museums do not always have a staff member trained in flintknapping. This can be problematic because aspects of flaked stone technology can be difficult to illustrate to students and the public without replicative demonstrations. Fortunately, there has been a recent florescence of flintknapping videos on the website www. YouTube.com. This phenomenon allows educators to expand, cost-free, their pedagogical arsenal by bringing flintknappers of all skill-levels "into the classroom." Here we describe the advantages and disadvantages of using YouTube flintknapping videos in an educational setting. While there are ethical issues to consider, YouTube ultimately offers unique possibilities to enrich and enliven the teaching of prehistoric lithic technologies.
