The effect of projectile point size on atlatl dart efficiency (1999)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jeffrey S Couch. Tracy A Stropes. Adella B Schroth.

J. Whittaker: Point size makes no difference in throwing distance. [Weak experimental design (small sample human throws) and dubious theoretical orientation (Perkins) but conclusion correct. However human variability in throws should be expected to outweigh difference in points, and the real useful info here is the demonstration that all point sizes work about equally, so point size is not necessarily a good marker of atlatl vs bow]

The Effect of Weights on Atlatl Accuracy (2004)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Teej Anspach. Rebekah Merrill.

J. Whittaker: unpublished class paper, Grinnell College. Throwing at ISAC target with Berg darts, atlatl unweighted and 81 gm weights at 3 positions. For each condition, 18 composite scores of five shots each. Proximal weight poorest; no weight and middle position show no signif diff; distal weight improved accuracy. Suggest improvement is from balancing dart while aiming.

An Expedient One Day Stone-Age Willow Bow (2012)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Paul Campbell.

Experimental archery: projectile velocities and comparison of bow performances (1988)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Edward Mcewen. Robert L Miller. Christopher A Bergman.

J. Whittaker: Bow developed end of Upper Palaeolithic, earliest examples are Mesolithic, earliest composite bows 3rd millennium BC in Asia. Experimental bow comparisons should use correct reproductions of old bows and arrows proper to each bow. Velocity is used as measure of comparison. Arrow velocities achieved were 30-60 mps from a variety of self and composite bows. Compared to 195 gm, 152 cm dart thrown with replica Basketmaker atlatl at 23 mps.

Experimental Evidence Concerning Spear Use in Neanderthals and Early Modern Humans (2003)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Steven E Churchill. William L Hylander. Daniel Schmitt.

J. Whittaker: Argues that Neanderthal humeri are asymmetrical, with right more robust. They are wider front to back, compared to Upper Paleolithic humeri which are rounder, consistent with (tortional) throwing loads. Neanderthal asymmetry more likely to result from thrusting spears, and the Lower and Middle Paleolithic spears so far found are large and heavy, better for thrusting than throwing. In an underhand thrust, the strong hand is at the back, and takes most of the (bending) stress....

Experimental Replication and Use of Cantabrian Lower Magdalenian Antler Projectile Points (1998)

DOCUMENT Citation Only James T Pokines.

J. Whittaker: Spanish Upper Paleolithic, transition from Solutrean to LM included intensification of deer, ibex, salmon, mollusc use and shift from lithic points to antler. Points are unbarbed, with beveled bases. Experiment to determine use-life factors. Used fresh N. Am. elk antler, 20 pts made with modern tools. Beveled, modern glue join to hardwood shaft, all used with same mainshaft, round, 31 mm diam, 2 m long. Hand thrown at 3-5 m at goat carcass. Total 249 throws, of which 51 were...

Experimental use of Clovis weaponry and tools on African elephants (1989)

DOCUMENT Citation Only George C Frison.

J. Whittaker: Clovis points used on culled elephants, observations on hafting and effectiveness, herd behavior and strategy. Hafted on wooden foreshaft socketed into mainshaft, spear weight 358-432 grams [very heavy for atlat - were they flexible or more like harpoon?], but heavier got better penetration. Penetration ends when larger shaft reaches hole, so long foreshaft better, but longer breaks more easily. A taper to socket fit for foreshaft worked well if tight; shoulder + plug broke, taper...

Faunal Remains (1985)

DATASET Uploaded by: Jesse Clark

The faunal dataset is comprised of 81,947 specimens, recovered from a variety of contexts within the Dolores Project area (Neusius 1985c; Petersen, Matthews et al. 1986). Nonhuman macrofaunal remains collected during site excavations are by far the most abundant in the DAP assemblage (n=76,224), followed by microfaunal specimens (n=5,723) collected by way of dry screening and flotation processing (Petersen, Matthews et al. 1986). A third set of miscellaneous remains include specimens recovered...

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 Fortified Villages of the Dakotas (1962)

DOCUMENT Full-Text W. W. Caldwell.

From the time of first contact by European and American travelers, the fortified villages of the sedentary, horticultural Indians who lived along the Missouri River in what today are the States of North and South Dakota have been a matter for speculation and comment— and with good reason. Many of the defensive features have close counterparts in the fortified villages and castles of the mote and bailey type of western Europe. This is not to imply that there was any direct relationship but the...
