A series of lithic tools journey from prehistory to the present, traveling from the physical through the digital, and re-emerging in the physical world, now altered versions of themselves. Knapped flint hand-axes were 3D-scanned, then processed, some by means of analytical software tools developed for computational archaeology research. They were then digitally fabricated using various technologies and materials, marking them with our current technological capabilities.
