A Butterfly Bannerstone as an Atlatl Weight (1959)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Orville H Peets.

J. Whittaker: Fragile but functional, his replica survives atlatl weight/hook use. Possible evolution from hand, throw with finger on end of dart, use short "palm" atlatl like Santa Barbara which adds force but is hard to balance, to lengthened atlatl or weighted atlatl to balance spear. [No description of how he used his bannerstone, but photos show he put it on extreme end of atlatl and used edge of butterfly wing as hook for dart.] Recommends a "brake" in motion as dart leaves atlatl...

Cienega Points and Late Archaic Period Chronology in the Southern Southwest (1999)

The Complete Roman Army (2003)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Adrian Keith Goldsworthy.

“An outstanding general study of the Roman military system. . . . The best one-volume treatment of the subject now in existence.”—Historian The Roman army was one of the most successful fighting forces in history.

A Critique of ‘The Geniculate Bannerstone as an Atlatl Handle’ by Orville H. Peets (1962)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Dan F Morse. Phyllis A Morse.

J. Whittaker: Experiments are NOT dead in archaeology. [Then gives trivial examples and acts as if experimentation is just to help classify artifacts]. How long did Peets spend on atlatls [Implying waste of time]. What did Peets prove? “Demonstrating an object can function does not mean a priori that it did so function.” [The last is true but otherwise an obtuse discussion which misses the point of experimentation entirely]. Artifact names may be useful even if not reflecting function....
