In this paper, I present Ethiopia's Boreda lithic practitioners’ perception of knapping stone as a living vital being and how it informs their selection of colourful stones and transmission of knowledge to apprentices. In particular, lithic practitioners select stones which are perceived to exhibit evidence of their vitality in the form of light and choose particular colours of stone for their association with transformation and community identit…

Importantly, their wisdom taught me an alternative way of perceiving…
Hide and meat among Boreda hideworkers

Through the interface between oral traditions, life histories, and the archaeological record, we grew increasingly aware of the descendant community’s wide range of alternative but equally valid memori…
Classics Review
Feminine Knowledge and Skill Reconsidered

However, today a group of Konso women make, use, and discard flaked stone tools to process hides, offering us an alternative to the man-the-toolmaker model and redefining Western "naturalized" gender roles. These Konso women are skilled knappers who develop their expertise through long-term practice and appr…
