The arrow (1895)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Frank Hamilton Cushing.

J. Whittaker: [Fascinating early article by one of the first experimental archaeologists.] Arrow was invented before bow. Study specific for general laws of man’s development. Good quotes on above, personal and individual nature of anthro, philosophy of study and need for replication. His discovery of arrowmaking. Arrows described (SW example). "Knapping" direct, indirect, pressure described. Arrow making includes straight and smooth w/stone, grooved grinder for foreshafts, wrenches....


Arrowheads and Projectile Points with a Classification Guide for Lithic Artifacts (1974)
DOCUMENT Citation Only G E van Buren.

J. Whittaker: [Most of the book is devoted to an eccentric and not very useful splitter typology scheme based on 35 attributes, with point names unused by anyone else and quite unnecessary.] Discusses design influences on points, including bows: N. Am. relatively weak, would use light arrows, thus average arrowhead should be 4 gm, although up to 17 gm possible. Various possible point hafting techniques. Atlatls: darts depicted on pre-hispanic art (Nuttall) suggest lengths 26-50 inches [Too...

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 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 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.

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 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, or Throwing Stick, A Recent Study of Atlatls in Use with Darts of Various Sizes (1948)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Malcolm W Hill.

J. Whittaker: Importance of different grips. Could use one hand to hold back dart and add flexing force to throw if atlatl flexible, “grasping the handle of the atlatl with the left hand and the spur end, including the rear end of the dart, with the right hand.” Probably influenced invention of bow. He then says “sweeping movement is necessary to propel the dart.” But he claims the 2-hand method works in cramped quarters to “propel the dart with the wrist alone 40-50 feet.” [Absurd – I can’t...
