Knapping – with a “K”– has nothing to do with sleep! Knapping is the art of making stone tools, and the Knap-In at Fort Watauga is our celebration of Tennessee Archaeology Week. Watch skilled craftspeople make arrowpoints, spear points and other early survival tools. There will also be demonstrations of bow and arrow and atlatl throughout the day.

Meet at Fort Watauga.
