The ballistic performance of prehistoric weapons: first results of a comparative study. (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Justin Coppe. Veerle Rots. Marc Pirlot. Valérian Clarenne.

Projectile points have recently taken a prominent position in debates on the complexity of Paleolithic human behavior. While the appearance of hunting weapons in the archaeological record was a central element in early discussions, the debate has shifted towards the appearance of specific projecting modes. Given that the organic propulsion tools (bow, spear-thrower) are only rarely preserved, energy has been invested in experiments to explore how the projecting mode can be identified based on...

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....

New Experimental Data on the Distance of Sling Projectiles Denmark: an experimental perspective (2009)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Margaret Brown Vega. Nathan Craig.

J. Whittaker: Central Andes, Peru, ethnographic slingers asked to throw for distance. Variable throwing style [no details], irregular river stones 4-9 x 2.5-4.5 cm comparable to archaeol specimens, local wool slings ca 1.8 m long. Recorded 142 casts, men, women, youths. Adult men do best, youth may not practice as much now, women up with men except for longest distances. Max distance 130 m, mean 65 m. Finney experiments (novice slinger) at UK Iron Age hill forts underestimate possible range....
