Experiments with the spear thrower (1963)

DOCUMENT Citation Only C Mau.

J. Whittaker: Experiments with distance as criterion. Points of copper tube, 1/8 to 1 oz, darts lengths 2.5-5.5 ft, atlatls 12-30 inches long - 24" best. Best distance (180-200' usual) with unfletched 36", 3/8" diam, wt 2.5 oz, pt 1 oz, balance ca. 31% from tip. Fletched shaft allows use of lighter points, balance less important, reduced range. Speculations on prehist point styles. Bannerstones - pipe of different weights at different places on atlatls. Best was moderate weight, ca. 5 oz,...

Factors Influencing the Use of Stone Projectile Tips: An Ethnographic Perspective (1997)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Christopher Ellis.

J. Whittaker: Good article, nice compilation of ethnographic data on point use, good consideration of +/- factors in use of stone tips and alternatives. Not much directly related to atlatls. Conclusions: stone tips make more effective, improve light projectiles, usually indicate large game hunting.

DOCUMENT Citation Only Pierre Cattelain.

J. Whittaker: [Typological notes on prehistoric bone artifacts, book 2, Spearthrowers] First finds by Lartet and Christy 1864 Laugerie-Basse, identified as harpoon tip with barb, recognized in publication by de Mortillet 1891 (and unknown correspondant from Ireland in 1864). Distinguishes three types: male, female, and androgenous [hook + groove like Basketmaker]. Considers only specimens that are clearly parts of atlatls, 118 pieces. Hook wear: slight ring depression around tip, scratches on...

Folsom Projectile Technology: An Experiment in Design, Effectiveness, and Efficiency (2008)

DOCUMENT Citation Only David A Hunzicker.

J. Whittaker: Used 25 F points replicated by Patten (80 counting reuse after damage and reshaping), hafted 5 ways, fired with crossbow at 30-35 m/s perpendicularly into beef carcass ribs. Foreshafts on 220 cm, 240 gm shafts to simulate atlatl. Fluting helps hafting - easier to fit convex foreshaft notch interior to flute surface than usual concave notch interior to lenticular point, but labor intensive. Hafted to full length of flutes. Foreshaft types all performed similarly regarding break...

Formal variation in Australian spear and spearthrower technology (1989)

DOCUMENT Citation Only B J Cundy.

J. Whittaker: [Actually covers only Central Australia and the northern half of the Northern Territory so some important types and variation not included. A very good study although marred by many typos and almost no illustrations of spearthrowers and spears. One of the best sources on spearthrower mechanics and physics, but the explanations are not always clear. I’ve translated into English as much as I can.] 1. Intro: Variation should be explained by technological and functional factors as...

The Geniculate Bannerstone as an Atlatl Handle (1962)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Orville H Peets.

J. Whittaker: “For several decades” experiments have been out of favor in arch. But “the most meaningful questions are not to be solved by using meaningless names” of artifacts. If we fail to recognize ‘bannerstones’ as atlatl weights, and ‘gorgets’ as wrist guards, we lose info on transition to bow. Geniculates are hook shaped with oval and oblong perforation. Thin shaft fits firmly in hole, hook up supports dart, held with either two–finger [split] or [hammer] grip. Similar to beak on...
