There is a requested donation of $45 ($36 for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center members; 50% off for persons who have taken this class previously), which supports Old Pueblo’s education programs about archaeology and traditional cultures.
Learn how to make arrowheads, spear points, and other flaked stone artifacts just like ancient peoples did.
