CA 100 - Atlatl

Institution:

Fort Peck Community College

Subject:

Description:

2 credits An atlatl is a simplistic spear thrower that can launch dart effectively enough to fell any large game, such as the mastodon. Thousands of years ago, the indigenous people of this continent left shards of their history. Bifacial stone points are often confused with arrow heads or knife points, but do not seem to quite fit into either bracket of identification. Students will learn to identify materials, assemble and launch darts. This will broaden students' understanding of primitive tools and weaponry other than bows and spears.
