J. Whittaker: Reiterates rotational view, suggests experiment with dart held parallel to shaft to prove impossibility [but doesn't do it], mentions possibility of flexing atlatl analogue to spinning rod.

J. Whittaker: Testing breakage on Clovis era ivory rods used as foreshafts. Used 2 atlatls - modified Key Marco form with 2 holes, European Upper Paleolithic form. Oak dowel spear 1.8 m long, 227 grams. Silicified coral point and ivory foreshaft made by C Van Orter, wooden + alligator bone foreshafts. Driven into palm trunk 50 times, points and foreshafts survived, lashings failed. Need more exper to test breakage. [Impressive durability of both pts + shafts].

J. Whittaker: Ohlone Indian site Fremont CA, 400 BC-1800 AD. Elk? bone. Notched lump shape to tie on. Tried replica. Photo.

J. Whittaker: Flexible weighted atlatls in N. Am. are advance over more common rigid forms, perhaps as competed with newer bows. [Unfortunately continues to promote spring theories and atlatl as ancestor to bow.] Examples of modern symbolic use of obsolete weaponry.

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ray Strischek.

J. Whittaker: [Useful article], considers many variables in accuracy and distance: theories of atlatl weight functions, body motion and casting styles, atlatl grip styles, problems affecting throws. Experiments with lots of variables [not very systematically], concludes: Heavy weights no good, they slow throw, damage arm. Moderate weights increase accuracy by helping prevent spur end of atlatl from being pushed to side as dart flexes. On light flexible atlatls, small weight may increase flex...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Malcolm W Hill.

J. Whittaker: Importance of different grips. Could use one hand to hold back dart and add flexing force to throw if atlatl flexible, “grasping the handle of the atlatl with the left hand and the spur end, including the rear end of the dart, with the right hand.” Probably influenced invention of bow. He then says “sweeping movement is necessary to propel the dart.” But he claims the 2-hand method works in cramped quarters to “propel the dart with the wrist alone 40-50 feet.” [Absurd – I can’t...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kris Tuomala.

J. Whittaker: Booklet, 62 pages. Good detail and photos of building atlatl, although focus on Basketmaker type which is more difficult for beginner, dart making, useful tips on use.

DOCUMENT Citation Only John C. Whittaker. Ron Mertz.

J. Whittaker: unauthorized reprint in Ancient American 7(48):18. Atlatls are good for hands-on teaching of primitive technology, and interaction with an interested public.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Mapping Crossroads: Archaeological and High Resolution Documentation of Nuclear Test Submerged Cultural Resources at Bikini Atoll" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. From 1946 to 1958 a series of 22 atomic bombs were tested throughout Bikini atoll resulting in a series of anthropogenic craters around the atoll. Now 61 years later, questions remain about what evidence remains for these tests and how human...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ann E. Danis.

While archaeologists are making leaps and bounds integrating digital technologies into their work-flow and interpretive strategies, an over-emphasis on the virtual has left a hole where thinking about how archaeologists, collaborators, stakeholders and the public actually encounter archaeology — IN REAL LIFE. While many post about living in a post-digital age, their is a kernel of truth to how many collaborators, especially youth, conceive of their worlds not as full of new media but as, "always...
