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...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Dick Baugh.

Functional Implications of Backed Piece Variability for Prehistoric Weaponry in the Middle Stone Age (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Benjamin Schoville. Jayne Wilkins. Kyle Brown. Simen Oestmo. Terrence Ritzman.

MSA backed pieces are often thought to be components of projectile armaments, however our limited understanding of their functional characteristics as projectiles precludes understanding the adaptive problems they may have solved. Despite widespread acknowledgment of raw material differences and inter- and intra-assemblage morphological variability, whether backed piece morphology reflects functional, economic, or stylistic variation has a paucity of empirical support. Here, the functional...

Further Notes on the Susanville Atlatl (1941)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Franklin Fenenga. Robert F Heizer.

J. Whittaker: George Evans, son-in-law of Charlie Paiute, worked with M.R. Harrington at Lovelock Cave and others, made and experimented with atlatls after seeing SW types found at Council Hall Cave, NV, and is responsible for the Lassen County in previous issue.

The game drives of Rocky Mountain National Park (1996)

DOCUMENT Citation Only James B. Benedict. Center for Mountain Archaeology.

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...

Homeland: An Archaeologist’s View of Yellowstone Country’s Past (2006)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Larry Lahren.

J. Whittaker: Nice personalized illustrated narrative of Montana prehistory. Anzick Clovis site frequently referred to. Lithic archaeology includes projectile point chronology, knapping discussion featuring work of Ray Alt, Bonnichsen. Shoshone legend of how coyote stole knapping knowledge from wolf. Experiments with bow (Alt) and atlatl leave them skeptical of ability to distinguish points by size, and of penetrating ability of atlatl dart. [Stories about effectiveness of bow and arrow, and...

The Horse and Dog in Hidatsa Culture (1924)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Gilbert L. Wilson.

How fast does a dart go? (2007)

DOCUMENT Citation Only John C. Whittaker. Kathryn A Kamp.

J. Whittaker: With a radar gun, measured JW throws using Whittaker, Berg, and Perkins equipment. Velocities from 45 mph (20 m/sec) to 57 (25) with Berg gear slowest. Comparisons to other experiments.

How hard does it hit? (2002)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Daryl Hrdlicka.

J. Whittaker: Energy calculations for atlatl dart compared to other projectiles. Force (momentum) reflects how hard it hits target (F = Mass x Acceleration). Kinetic Energy (stored energy in projectile) determines amount of damage to target (KE = 1/2 Mass x Velocity squared). Atlatl darts have more impact force and momentum than most bullets (because more mass) but much less kinetic energy (because slow). “Weaker than modern firearms, but still capable of bringing down largest game.” They rely...

How hard does it hit? A revised study of atlatl and dart ballistics (2003)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Daryl Hrdlicka.

J. Whittaker: Three variables for comparison: how hard it hits (kinetic energy), how hard it is to stop (momentum) and how effectively it penetrates (sectional density). Calculations for spears, atlatl darts, arrows, bullets. Darts much less kinetic energy (KE = 1/2 Mass x Velocity squared) than bullets, but more than arrows, and plenty to take big game by archery standards. Momentum = Mass X Velocity so darts less than heavy spears or fast bullets, but more than .357 magnum or arrows. High...

How the Length of an Atlatl Affects its Dart Throwing Abilities (2001)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Robert Nalejawk.

J. Whittaker: class paper for J Whittaker. Tried three lengths, longer atlatls get greater distance [but small sample, limited experiment]
