An Introduction to the Atlatl (1994)

DOCUMENT Citation Only David Wescott.

J. Whittaker: [OK intro, but too many errors]. He has an interesting concept of different kinds of atlatl systems: “throwing board” = rigid, heavy harpoons; “spear thrower” = some flex, long heavy spears [but atlatls don’t go back to Neanderthal times]; “flexible system” = SW, flexy light atlatls and darts with weights and other tuning; “casting stick” = baton de commandment and other thong-using throwers and very flexy atlatls [not the same]. [His explanations borrow too much from Perkins’...

The Last Spear Throwers (2006)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Andy Hall.

J. Whittaker: Hunting with Jimmy Okitkun on the Yukon delta, spearing seals with atlatl because in fresh water they sink if you shoot them. Spear of driftwood with ivory or brass harpoon. Chasing seal with motor boat, repeated throws up to 100 feet before success. Graphic shows “nuqaq” simple Arctic form with paddle handle, one hole for finger, ivory hook [much like the one I made]. [Nice article].

DOCUMENT Citation Only Stéphane Gaudefroy.

Le Bâton de Commandement (1965)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Leon Underwood.

J. Whittaker: [Odd article, not very useful. Begins with irrelevant and muddled rant on failure of science to recognize art and the subjective.] By labeling baton de commandement a "magic" object, its function was ignored. Not magic, not shaft straightener. Early cave art (Altamira) static, while later (Lascaux) dynamic, reflecting new weapon: baton as spear thrower. Holes comparable to grips on Eskimo versions, but Eskimo are wood, cruder, throw larger spear. [Illustrations show his...

Les Faons aux Oiseaux (2002)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Emmanuel Demoulin.

J. Whittaker: [In French] Of about 100 Upper Paleolithic European spearthrowers, 7 from France represent the “fawn with birds” motif [a hornless ungulate peering backward over its shoulder at the hook, which is usually interpreted as showing a bird pecking at a fecal pellet emerging from the anus.] All are from Pyrenees and dating to the middle Magdalenian, C14 dated 15,340-13,280 BP. There are two complete (Mas d’Azil and Bedheilhac) and five partial. The facial and back markings indicate...

Light versus Heavy Darts: Hunting Strategies of the Basketmaker and Other Atlatl Wielding Indians (2008)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Devin Pettigrew.

J. Whittaker: Summarizes mechanics: lever action, not spring effect, needs flexible dart. Modern hunters using 8 oz (250 gm) darts, but BM equip was light. Penetration experiment on cow carcass. Wooden darts heavier than cane, but dart can be changed by different foreshaft + point combinations. Tried different woods to split, and saplings. Chose Dogwood with oak foreshafts for heavy darts (Berg 8 oz, Frison 12 oz) and box elder for lighter White Dog Cave dart replicas. Distribution of BM...
