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...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Rob Roy. David Wescott.

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.

How to make and use the Atlatl: ancient weapons of the Ice Age hunters (1984)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Roderick D Laird.

J. Whittaker: Laird is school teacher, amateur arch, participant in World Open Atlatl Contest since beginning. Prefers pronunciation at-latl but unable to find evidence. Aztec origins [from Nuttall – throughout he mentions “authorities” without citations]. Mechanics discussed, unclear. Some sketchy archaeology and designs. How to make section. Recommends wooden spears 6-7’ long. Optional weights serve as counterbalance to spear. Photos of manufacture, some design tips, including a forked antler...

Hunting during the Upper Paleolithic: Bow, Spearthrower, or Both? (1997)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Pierre Cattelain.

J. Whittaker: Defines atlatl and bow. Spearthrower works by lever action. Discusses two geographical groups 1) Arctic – “used exclusively from a seated position in kayaks in a marine environment” and 2) Australian, used standing in terrestrial settings. Both are highly variable, used with variety of projectiles, often diff forms for same purpose or for specialized purposes, no consistent patterns. Throwing distances recorded over 100m, but hunting from 10-45 m, usually less. Bow range is...

Hunting lesions caused by osseous projectile points: experimental results and archaeological implications (2008)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Claire Letourneaux. Jean-Marc Pétillon.

J. Whittaker: Upper Magdalenian (Upper Paleolithic) antler points, fork-based or double beveled, from Isturitz, France. Could be on darts or arrows - earliest definite bow evidence is Ahrensburgian arrow shafts from Stellmoor, Germany, ca 2000 yrs younger than Up Magd. Replicated pts on foreshafts with hide glue and sinew, used (96) on arrows with self bow, and atlatl darts 2.5 m L, 157-193 gm, atlatls of Up Pal type 50-70 cm long, Chauvaux, Cattelain, Demoulin, and Rivere throwers. Two...

Hunting with Howiesons Poort Segments: Pilot Experimental Study and the Functional Interpretation of Archaeological Tools (2008)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Marlize Lombard. Justin Pargeter.

J. Whittaker: HP = Middle Stone Age, S Africa, ca 70-55,000 BP. Distinctive backed blade segments and blade tools. Use as barbs or tips on projectile weapons? Tested 4 configurations, look at fractures. Glued into slotted wood shafts [look real crude to me - dowels with saw cut ends, apparently taped to larger shaft]. Machine [not specified] launch, 10 per weapon, 27 weapons, 167 shots into impala carcass. 85% penetrated, 37% survived all 10 shots. Transverse hafted segments least effective....

Hunting with talc? Experiments into the functionality of certain Late Neolithic ground projectile points from the site of Liangchengzhen, Peoples Republic of China (2009)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Geoffrey Cunnar. William Schindler. Anne Underhill. Fengshi Luan. Hui Fang.

Collaborative excavations by the Shandong University and Field Museum at the Longshan Period site of Liangchengzhen in eastern Shandong Province, China have uncovered over 200 projectile points constructed from several prevalent material types of varying hardness. The majority of the points were finished by grinding. The smaller percentage were finished by pressure flaking. Raw materials utilized in projectile point manufacture included chlorite schist, chert and talc schist. To better...

I, The Aboriginal (1980)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Douglas W Lockwood.

J. Whittaker: (first illustrated edition). Autobiography of Waipuldanya aka Phillip Roberts as told to Lockwood. First pub 1962. Born ca 1902 in N Australia, Roper River on Gulf of Carpentaria. As boy, “we fought with toy spears, the ends bound with rags so that anyone who was hit wouldn’t be badly hurt.” Hunting with woomera + 10 foot shovelnose spear frequently mentioned but not detailed. Mission school for a few years, then hunt with older man (his future wife’s bro) for training, so at ca...
