Prehistoric Manual - radio 4, 15:45 today

[daved]

Just spotted this in the listings. It is a re-run of a series about ancient crafts and survival skills.
From their website:

Mike Pitts - the editor of British Archaeology - sheds light on the lifestyles of our forebears by recording on location around Britain and in America. He brings together professional archaeologists with present day crafts people to compare ancient and modern techniques for survival

It has been running all week but I just noticed it. Today's edition is about stone tools and making an axe. I doubt if it is particularly in-depth though as it is only 15 minutes long but it might make interesting listening.

Also available as "Listen Again" from the website:
