Atlatl Workshop

Atlatl Workshop May 28th 9am-10am

Presented By:

Angelo Robledo Experimental Archaeologist

(Atlatls Expert)

What is an Atlatl? An atlatl is a spear throwing tool about 60cm in length that uses leverage to propel a thin spear or dart further than it could be thrown by hand. The oldest atlatl ever excavated, which was found in France, has been dated to 17,500 BCE, however bio-archaeological evidence suggests that atlatl use may go back as far as 30,000 BCE.

Within the workshop guests will learn how to hold and throw these ancient hunting tools.

Requirements:
