Does look like it would be interesting Marc. I couldn’t get video though.

Yes I got that message from someone else, maybe it's only available in Canada

It's a pity it can't be viewed outside of Canada.  A most interesting vid.  There were some very well made stone points plus 1 copper point dated to about 900 years.

Ryan has written a paper on the icefields dart finds.

Over 200 artifacts have been carbon dated and show that atlatl and dart technology
continued from at least 8360 years before present until it was quickly replaced by bow
and arrow technology about 1200 years before present in that area

Very neat articles and a real window to the history of the atlatl and darts as well as First Nations history and way of life!
