Don E. Crabtree (June 8, 1912 – November 16, 1980) was an American flintknapper and pioneering experimental archaeologist. Known as the "dean of American flintknappers" he was mostly self-educated, however he was awarded an honorary doctorate degree by the University of Idaho. His 1972 publication An Introduction to Flintworking still serves as one of the primary terminology sources for students of lithic technology. Crabtree is known for "Crabtree's Law", which states that "the greater the degree of final finishing applied to a stone artifact, whether by flaking, grinding, and/or polishing, the harder it is to conclude the lithic reduction process which produced the stone artifact".

  • 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 ».

Crabtree is known for "Crabtree's Law", which states that "the greater the degree of final finishing applied to a stone artifact, whether by flaking, grinding, and/or polishing, the harder it is to conclude the lithic reduction process which produced the stone artifact". 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.
