ATLATL
Also called a throwing board, the atlatl helped hunters harpoon whales,
sea otters, and seals. The spear is inserted or hooked in to one end of the
atlatl; as the thrower's arm moves forward, it is released on its trajectory.
Fashioned out of wood, bone, or antler, the atlatl gives a spear thrower
greater range and power. | |
