What is an atalt?

Answer 1

An atlatl, also known as a spear-thrower, is a tool that enhances the leverage and force applied when throwing a spear or dart. It consists of a long handle with a hook or notch at one end to hold the projectile. By using an atlatl, hunters can throw projectiles further and with greater accuracy than by hand alone. This ancient hunting device was used by various cultures around the world for millennia.
