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.

MAKING AD USING A DIHEDRAL BURIN

1		In a few words: On a raw blade, I create two slight convexities converging on the the point. This is mostly aimed to reduce the tool's width. A first blow leaves a flat surface with 90° angles. Here is a burin, very efficient for scraping soft materials (bone, antler, wood). A second blow creates a second burin on the other face of the blade, but also a a chisel point, very efficient to cut out slivers from a bone or an antler[...]

AN ANTLER NEEDLE: SEWING LEATHER WITH SINEW

2		In a few words: As tough as it may be, an antler needle will not go through such a thick piece of leather, so I must make holes first. With a small flake that I retouch so it becomes sharp, it should be easier. The thread I use here is made of sinew fibers. Once the holes are made, it's heasy to sew.

AN ANTLER NEEDLE: SHAPING WITH A BURIN

3		In a few words: To sharpen the needle and work on it I make a burin with a blade.. and the work begins. I then use a wet millstone (sandtone) to polish the needle's head and its body. With a second blade, I make a saw so I can cut one of the sliver's end, then sand it untill it gets sharp. Another little burin work and the needle is finished, ready for sewing.

A BONE NEEDLE: DRILLING THE HOLE

4		In a few words: First I make a drill: a small burin spall inserted in a split wooden stick... Then I use a dihedral burin to make a small scratch on the reindeer sliver so that my drill won't slip. A sort of pre-hole. Rubbing the stick between my palms, I drill both faces, little by little (total duration: 12 minutes). Then I start shaping the needle with a burin...
