Throwing Fire: Projectile Technology Through History (2002)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Alfred W Crosby.

J. Whittaker: Extended essay, reasonably well written, mostly accurate although superficial on details. Early sections favor Calvin’s theory of throwing as critical mental development [thankfully he only hints at Calvin’s handaxe throwing nonsense], and Bingham’s idea of group enforcement by throwing as promoting social development. Ethnographic accounts of remarkably accurate stone throwing. First spears at Schöningen 400,000 years ago. Upper Paleolithic - throwing stick or atlatl, adequate...

Variation in North American Dart Points and Arrow Points when One or Both are Present (2008)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Lee R Lyman. Todd L Vanpool. Michael J O’Brien.

J. Whittaker: There should be an increase in variability with introduction of new technology as makers experiment to find best combination of attributes, followed by decrease as less functional variations are discarded. Test when arrows are replacing darts, in stratig sequences in Verkamp Shelter, MO, Mummy Cave, WY, and Gatecliff Shelter, NV. Appears to work: “Diversity in dart-point classes should increase as artisans experiment with modifying dart points into effective arrow pts. Thus...

Weights of Chipped Stone Points: A Clue to Their Functions (1953)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Franklin Fenenga.

J. Whittaker: Weighed 884 points from 16 sites in CA plus 1 NV Anasazi, 1 NB 18th C Apache, 1 ND protohistoric, 1 SD protohistoric, 1 MO Archaic, 1 MO Hopewell. Finds bimodality: less than 3.49 gm, and more than 4.5 gm (only 33 = 3.7% fall between). Suggests small point tradition reflects bow and arrow, late sites, while large point tradition is atlatl, earlier sites. Notes contradictory evidence: Browne 1938 and his own experiments with atlatl show small points, no points, large points all...
