Fun with cattails – the whip dart (2012)

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...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Dana Campbell. Norman D. Jefferson. Clarence R. Geier. Bernadine McGuire. Elwood Fisher.

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]

How to make a Good Dart with Easily Found Materials (2009)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Timothy Moyer. David Wescott.

J. Whittaker: Instructions for simple wood dowel darts.

How to make a pretty darned good atlatl (2004)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Scott Jones. David Wescott.

J. Whittaker: Flat somewhat flexible “bow limb” shaft with Gt Basin-like notches and Basketmaker-like loops, plus a bannerstone weight attached by putting a separate rod through it and fixing rod to underside of atlatl shaft (allows bannerstone use with flat, more flexible atlatl). Antler tine hook. Weight more than halfway up shaft from handle is liability. Prefers unfletched, highly flexible forward weighted darts about 3 times atlatl length.
