In these videos, Bernard Ginelli (the professionnal) or Cayoo (the amateur) make flint or bone tools and try to recreate artefacts in the same way and with the same techniques as our ancestors.

The sound and image quality of the first movies is far from being perfect because of the camera used to record them and because of the web encoding process.

Newer videos will be much better, though since we use the same digital recorder as in our DVD products.

AZILIAN HARPOON: BREAKING & WORKING ANTLERS

1		In a few words: To make a harpoon we need to break a section of antler in order to detach a slab from it and shape it. First I saw the antler before breaking it with a big hammerstone, then scrape the sides to cut a slab from it, with a dihedral burin. Later on I'll split the antler by inserting a thick flint blade and by hammering on it (not the easiest part !) I should have used deer antlers instead of reindeer antlers for this ex[...]

AZILIAN HARPOON: SAWING AND SANDING ANTLERS

2		In a few words: In order to get an oval shape, I saw the extremities of the slab. The saw is obtained by making serrations on a flint blade (it works GREAT !). I've chosen a cortical blade so as not to cut myself. Then I grind the slab on a wet sandstone... I should have used deer antlers instead of reindeer antlers for this experimentation because there weren't any reindeers in south of France during the azilian.

AZILIAN HARPOON: CUTTING AND SHAPING THE BARBS

3		In a few words: The outline of the harpoon is now correct, so I trace the barbs with a pen, then cut them with a flint saw, on each face. Later on I'll scrape the cuts with a dihedral burin. In order to get a perfect sharpness of the barbs, I'll scrape them with a small burin. The final step will be the drilling of an oval hole, near the base of the harpoon. The full operating chain of this harpoon can be seen in the TECHNIQUES sect[...]
