Through practical experimentation and study of archaeological finds (both completed tools and the chips of stone left by their production) Crabtree learned to produce replicas of a variety of different ancient flint and obsidian blades.

  • Don Crabtree, né le 8 juin 1912 et mort le 16 novembre 1980, dans l’Idaho, est un préhistorien tailleur de silex, pionnier de l'archéologie expérimentale aux États-Unis. Doyen des tailleurs de silex nord-américains, il était autodidacte même s'il reçut un doctorat honoraire de l'université d'Idaho. Son ouvrage de 1972, intitulé An Introduction to Flintworking (Une introduction à la taille du silex), demeure une référence pour les étudiants s'intéressant à la technologie lithique. Il est connu pour avoir énoncé la loi de Crabtree, selon laquelle « plus le degré de finition d'un artéfact de pierre est élevé, que ce soit par taille, par meulage et/ou par polissage, plus il est difficile d'établir par quel moyen cet artéfact a été produit ».
