Translation of the summary of the Doctorate thesis of Ulrich Stodiek, "Zur Technologie der jungpalaolithischen Speerschleuder." (1994)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Martin Street.

J. Whittaker: Ethnographic survey, size ranges. Australian info: successful hunting range 10-30 m. Upper Paleolithic archaeological survey: 123 specimens of hook ends [which include the famous animal carvings, and some pieces considered by others to be complete]. Two hook types: hook, and hook + groove. Surviving pieces are too short to be complete, would be part of more complex tool. Reconstructions and experiments performed: Needed fletching on pine shafts with antler points. Flexibility...

The Tuning of Atlatl Darts (2002)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Dick Baugh. David Wescott.

J. Whittaker: Force is not applied in a straight line, so dart must flex. If end kicks up, dart is too limber, if down, too stiff. Test before fletching. The harder you throw, the stiffer the dart should be. Fairly wide range is acceptable; well-tuned dart works for hard to moderate throw but kicks down for easy toss. Periodicity of dart vibration must match distance/time of throw. Flex of atlatl has little effect on “tuning” and flex of atlatl or dart contributes almost no energy to throw.

Two Hunting Blinds (1995)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Michael R. Oberndorf.

Un crochet de propulseur Solutréen de la Grotte de Combe-Saunière 1 (Dordogne) (1989)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Pierre Cattelain.

J. Whittaker: In French. .[A Solutrean Spear Thrower Hook from the Cave of Combe-Sauniere 1.] Short distal end piece with male hook, made of reindeer antler tine. Solutrean levels, associated with shouldered points. Decorated with a few lines. On tine, so originally short. Similar specimens beveled to attach to atlatl, tried experimentally. [If context correct, earliest spear thrower find]

A Unique Trap Trigger (2014)

DOCUMENT Citation Only David Wescott. David Wescott.

Using GIS in Archaeological Research: A New Look at Hunting Rock Art Sites (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kendra Rodgers.

Place, space, and movement are core concepts for analyzing how cultural behaviors of traditional hunting societies shape a landscape. Sites mark the use of a landscape and connect people to particular events, movements, or places on this landscape. Analysis of rock art must consider who created and used this art and the roles it played in shaping landscape use. Panels depicting hunting scenes have been recorded at communal hunting sites, in rockshelters that served as habitation areas, and as...

Using Moments of Inertia to Determine the Positions of Atlatl Weights on a Throwing Board (1999)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ellery Frahm.

J. Whittaker: Unpublished class paper, Anthropology Dept, Grinnell College. Moment of inertia is the tendency of an object to maintain its path of rotation and increases with the mass of the object and the distance from the axis of rotation. Thus a weight on a swinging atlatl stabilizes its motion and should increase accuracy. The greater the weight and the further from the handle, the more the effect, but the force necessary to swing the atlatl also increases. Using 5 prehistoric atlatls...

Using the Atlatl: The Basics (2009)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Daryl Hrdlicka. David Wescott.

Distinguishes 4 grip types based on how dart, not atlatl, is held: Knuckle (split finger, Basketmaker, with dart between knuckles); Thumb (thumb and index thru loops hold dart); Modified Thumb (1-hole Eskimo with index thru hole, thumb helps hold dart); Hammer (dart on rest, not held by fingers, modern) [so no holes, no rest like Peruvian would be what? Thumb or M Thumb? A good idea for classifying grips but not exhaustive.] Good description of throwing motion.

Utah Statewide Wilderness Draft Environmental Impact State, Volume V, South-East Region, Mancos Mesa Wsa (1985)

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...

Weibull Estimation of Use-Life Distribution in Experimental Spear-Point Data (2002)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Michael J Shott.

J. Whittaker: Statistical technique applied to distribution of failure rates in samples of experimental points suggest that in small points, failure rates are related to chance breakage, but heavier points with more obtuse angles survive better because they resist chance breakage and use-life relates more to cumulative attrition. Small sample of published data (3) with numbers of throws for individual points, varying techniques and goals, and differing materials.

The Weighted Atlatl and Dart: A Deceptively Complicated Mechanical System (1992)

DOCUMENT Citation Only William R Perkins.

J. Whittaker: Began experiments as engineering student 1984, presented this paper Montana Arch Soc 1989, Perkins and Leininger 1989. Atlatl is to propel light flexible dart, not heavy spear, tip of atlatl moves faster than hand, so dart faster than hand-thrown spear. Force is applied at end and dart flexes, similar to arrow. Flex of dart is essential to spring spear off hook before atlatl decelerates and swings down, or would just slip off hook [which in effect is what happens.] Dart flex...

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...

Whales, Whaling Amulets, and Human–Animal Relations in Northwest Alaska (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Erica Hill.

The use of personal amulets appears to have been a common practice among northern hunting peoples of Alaska, Canada, and Greenland. Many of these amulets were intended to facilitate individual human relations with sea mammals. Cooperative whaling, however, required the development of an amulet that mediated group relations with prey. This paper describes a set of Alaska Eskimo whaling "charms" dated to the late 19th century and identified in museum collections from across the United States. The...
