The 2025 Lithics Academy is a two-day Texas Archeology Academy to learn how to recognize stone artifacts, how they are produced, and interpreting stone artifacts and patterns in the archeological record.

Classroom sessions for the Academy will be held at in Austin on April 12-13, 2025.

Participants will learn to identify stone artifacts and to interpret basic data through exercises in sorting, classifying, and measuring. Learn the process of making a stone tool from cobble to finished product, the uses of stone tools, and the formation of use-wear and breakage patterns.

Mr. Chris Ringstaff, experimental archeologist at the Texas Department of Transportation, will lead the workshop. Dr. Robert Lassen of AmaTerra Environmental Consultants, and Dr. Sergio Ayala will be co-instructors.
