DOCUMENT Citation Only Steven D. Ruple.

Are Two Hands Better Than One? (2007)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Byl Bryce.

J. Whittaker: Experiments with two-handed long atlatl - difficult and not too successful.

Article Review: Experiments in the Function and Performance of the Weighted Atlatl (Raymond 1985) (2005)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ray Strischek. David Wescott.

J. Whittaker: Raymond concluded slight advantage in distance with weights (negligible), but important conclusion is weight increases angular momentum which contributes stability to the throw, improving accuracy. Why Ray uses weighted atlatl.

Artifact Assemblage Composition and the Hunting Camp Interpretation of High Plains Upper Republican Sites (1990)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Donna C. Roper.

At Long Last, An Atlatl of Your Very Own (1988)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jay Cowan.

J. Whittaker: Modern atlatl for experiment and sport, Leininger and Perkins featured. Does not occur as claimed in print version of that issue of Sports Illustrated.

The Atlatl and Dart (1998)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Richard Vanderhoek.

J. Whittaker: [A very good study, well written, the most thorough work in English. He covers the available literature in detail, and also relies on his own experiments and experience of Madden, Strischek, and Chauvaux.] Begins with ethnographic information on Arctic and Australian atlatls with good references, distribution of types, reports of use. Chapter 4 is History of Experimentation, good summaries. Chapter 5: The Motion. Differences are between short range accuracy throw and longer throw...

The Atlatl and Dart Workbook (2000)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Wyatt R Knapp. Lou Becker.

J. Whittaker: Detailed instructions on making atlatls and darts, and general information on throwing, contests, hunting, and other stuff. [Easy to read, generally good information. The atlatls are all rather modernized, but despite this, most are unnecessarily complicated for the beginner. Instructions are well illustrated. Suggests (incorrectly) that atlatl weight transfers its momentum to dart. Includes ISAC rules, list of sources (but lacking many important ones).]

Atlatl and Dart ‘Parameters’ as it Relates to Equipment and Throwing Technique (2006)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ray Strischek. David Wescott.

J. Whittaker: Too many unaccounted variables in experimentation, it’s only personal experience, so experimenters should describe details of relevant parameters and not expect too wide an application. Lots of variability present and past = no one right equipment.

The Atlatl Assessed: A Review of Recent Anthropological Approaches to Prehistoric North American Weaponry (1985)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Bruce D Dickson.

J. Whittaker: [Thorough review, good references, some mistakes.] Seems to accept theory of lengthened contact with spear rather than lever or spring. Most experiments show weights are no help. Atlatl survived for advantages in aquatic hunting and warfare.

Atlatl darts: the long and the short of it (2006)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Scott Jones. David Wescott.

J. Whittaker: Distance throws require lots flexibility, but that’s a liability for target accuracy. Best dart ca 3 x atlatl length and properly spined. Shorter darts require fletching.

Atlatl dynamics (1981)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Richard A Baugh.

J. Whittaker: Video digitizer and mathematical model used to predict velocity of darts under given conditions. - horizontal force, wrist torque, mass of hand, radius of gyration, weight of dart, length of atlatl. Simpler model than Cotterell and Kamminga 1989. Hand-thrown dart has short lever action (hand+wrist) while atlatl is much longer lever. Conclusions: Atlatl length (between .3-.75m) has little effect on velocity, although optimum length was .45 m. Adding a weight to atlatl can increase...

Atlatl Flexibility Analysis Via Computer Modeling (2002)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Dick Baugh.

J. Whittaker: “Extravagant claims made for increased dart velocity with flexible atlatl.” Uses computer model to show that to get 11% increase in kinetic energy, need to deflect the tip of the atlatl ca. 10 cm. [Possible with some very flexible atlatls.]

Atlatl Functions, Fancy, Flex and Fun: a Reply To Howard (1977)

DOCUMENT Citation Only William B. Butler.

Atlatl Functions, Fancy, Flex, and Fun. A Reply to Howard (1977)

DOCUMENT Citation Only William B Butler.

J. Whittaker: Reiterates rotational view, suggests experiment with dart held parallel to shaft to prove impossibility [but doesn't do it], mentions possibility of flexing atlatl analogue to spinning rod.

Atlatl long shots and primal instinct (2002)

DOCUMENT Citation Only S R Berg.

Atlatl Replicate Study (1997)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jim Dunbar.

J. Whittaker: Testing breakage on Clovis era ivory rods used as foreshafts. Used 2 atlatls - modified Key Marco form with 2 holes, European Upper Paleolithic form. Oak dowel spear 1.8 m long, 227 grams. Silicified coral point and ivory foreshaft made by C Van Orter, wooden + alligator bone foreshafts. Driven into palm trunk 50 times, points and foreshafts survived, lashings failed. Need more exper to test breakage. [Impressive durability of both pts + shafts].

An Atlatl Spur from the San Francisco Bay Area (2006)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Norm Kidder. David Wescott.

J. Whittaker: Ohlone Indian site Fremont CA, 400 BC-1800 AD. Elk? bone. Notched lump shape to tie on. Tried replica. Photo.
