I sure hope someone can help you out. Since there have been
very few found in the continental US. Some in the south west.
jackcrafty posted a photo of some from a NM.cave on the
" Bannerstone Discussion" thread. There are many found in
Alaska and Canada. Many reside in the Smithsonian collection.
From what I understand there are many from Central America
and Mexico. Might be worth while googleing for books about them.
Good luck Zuma

Bob Berg has written some papers that you can find for free  or talk to him @ ThunderBird Atlatl
Its all his opinion but he has a good amount of experience making and using

This site has a lot of designs and some good articles. 

Designs:  http://www.thudscave.com/npaa/designs/
Articles etc.: http://www.thudscave.com/npaa/index.htm


there is others stuff out there if you are willing to dig a little.  unfortunately not enough demand for a concise source pulling this all together.  But wouldn't that be cool. . .
