This is an atlatl — an ancient spear-thrower used by the Calusa. By extending the hunter’s arm, the atlatl increased speed, distance, and accuracy, making it an essential tool for hunting and fishing in Southwest Florida’s coastal waters. Its design reflects deep knowledge of physics, movement, and the surrounding environment. See tools like this and the history surrounding them at the Mound House! | Mound House

🗿 Artifact Friday: The Atlatl – Ancient Innovation in Action Long before the bow and arrow, Indigenous peoples across the Americas used the atlatl, a powerful spear thrower that increased distance, force, and accuracy. Its ingenious two-piece dart system allowed hunters to reuse the main shaft while leaving the flint-tipped fore shaft behind, making it efficient and adaptable in the field. A stunning reminder that innovation didn’t begin in modern times. Ancient engineers were masters of design
