Atlatl Technology: Some Further Reflections (2009)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Scott Jones.

J. Whittaker: Flexible weighted atlatls in N. Am. are advance over more common rigid forms, perhaps as competed with newer bows. [Unfortunately continues to promote spring theories and atlatl as ancestor to bow.] Examples of modern symbolic use of obsolete weaponry.

Atlatl Weight Function (1996)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ray Strischek.

J. Whittaker: [Useful article], considers many variables in accuracy and distance: theories of atlatl weight functions, body motion and casting styles, atlatl grip styles, problems affecting throws. Experiments with lots of variables [not very systematically], concludes: Heavy weights no good, they slow throw, damage arm. Moderate weights increase accuracy by helping prevent spur end of atlatl from being pushed to side as dart flexes. On light flexible atlatls, small weight may increase flex...

The Atlatl: Primitive Weapon of the Stone Age (2000)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kris Tuomala.

J. Whittaker: Booklet, 62 pages. Good detail and photos of building atlatl, although focus on Basketmaker type which is more difficult for beginner, dart making, useful tips on use.

Atlatls: Throwing for Distance (1992)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Craig Ratzat.

J. Whittaker: Need flex in both atlatl and dart. Fletching not necessary if dart balanced, and not same diameter for its full length. Recommends short light dart, tapered and point-heavy, unfletched, and long light flexible atlatl. Achieved distances of over 500 ft.

DOCUMENT Citation Only Claire Letourneaux. Jean-Marc Pétillon.

The Bannerstone: A Continuing Enigma (1996)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Lorenz W Bruechert.

J. Whittaker: Atlatl weight theory (Webb) is most accepted, but experiments show doesn't add force or velocity. Baer, Blair suggest "spinning stone" [= spindle whorl] from ethnographic analogy, a find with short slate shaft in bannerstone hole [but only a few wild fibers are suitable for spinning, and associations documented by Webb and others suggest atlatl connection].

Bannerstones and How They Relate to the Atlatl (2005)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Bob Berg.

J. Whittaker: Part of a kit of tools used to make and repair atlatl darts - bannerstone is spindle weight to spin string and taper dart shafts. Experiments to show it works - need cordage for whipping dart shafts and attach fletching. Used as flywheel on bowdrill arrangement to spin shaft while using abrasive in leather to round and smooth dart shaft. Bannerstones are designed to spin, and holes range from too large to too small for atlatl, and too heavy. [These last are unsupported assumptions...

Bannerstones of the North American Indian (1939)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Byron W Knoblock.

J. Whittaker: Reprinted 1965? mostly plates, a few color. Primarily typology + illustrations, of perforated bannerstones only. Discusses manufacture, good illustrations of unfinished specimens, some experiments in drilling. Prefers ceremonial or ornamental use theory, tribal symbols, but includes some others, e.g. section on Indian Knoll and Moore's theory that antler hooks were netting needles, bannerstones were mesh spacers, which he likes. Also letter from Webb arguing for atlatl part...

Bannerstones: A Historical Overview (1982)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Mary L Kwas.

J. Whittaker: Name “bannerstone” assumed ritual or social function. Moorehead 1917 first systematic classification: lunate, bilunate, bipennate, geniculate. Knoblock 1939 major work, base for typology although his evolutionary scheme has no empirical support. Researchers tend to ignore bannerstones or inadequately describe. Functional theories: 1) Ceremonial staff. NC find of 3 mounted on stone shafts a foot long (Baer 1921), and wear on only part of hole (Knoblock 1939), also fancy material,...

Bannerstones: Two Cents More (1993)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kermit Wilkison.

J. Whittaker: Anecdotes, metal weights taped on for experiments, weights behind fletching work well.

Basketmaker II Horn Flakers and Dart Point Production: Technological Change at the Agricultural Transition (2002)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Phil R Geib.

J. Whittaker: Experiments and microwear show that horn rods “gaming pieces” in Sand Dune Cave cache are actually knapping punches for manufacture of dart points. SDC cache included hafted and unfinished points.

A Butterfly Bannerstone as an Atlatl Weight (1959)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Orville H Peets.

J. Whittaker: Fragile but functional, his replica survives atlatl weight/hook use. Possible evolution from hand, throw with finger on end of dart, use short "palm" atlatl like Santa Barbara which adds force but is hard to balance, to lengthened atlatl or weighted atlatl to balance spear. [No description of how he used his bannerstone, but photos show he put it on extreme end of atlatl and used edge of butterfly wing as hook for dart.] Recommends a "brake" in motion as dart leaves atlatl...
