ARROWHEADS Adopting AdaptationHow We Make Old Things New To Make New Things Better."Young Hungry Bear" In Virtual Conversation With F. Scott CrawfordA little time traveling treat for you: listen in on a series of virtual conversations, "fireside chats" if you will, with an ancient knapper ... Young Hungry Bear ... about adapting proven, ancient ideas to new technology. Many of the arrowheads which we enjoy collecting and reading about had their origins deep in time and were more recently adopted and adapted from ancient technologies to be used in ways un-imagined by their original, most ancient designers and makers. That is the lesson, the point, as it were, of the following imaginary conversations with an ancient stone craftsman from the Far West of North America. You and I sit and he talks ... about how his ancestors discovered even more ancient throwing dart points, how his people used adaptations of those ancient atlatl dart points as inspiration for their arrowheads, and how his forebears handed down this important knowledge to each generation that followed. The time of this virtual conversation would be about 1720 A. D. Let's listen in.60 pages, full color. ARROWHEADS Adopting Adaptation
