Dr. Devin Pettigrew - Archaeologist with a research interest in the tools and tactics of ancient hunting cultures worldwide. Devin received an M.A. at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville in 2015 and a Ph.D. at the University of Colorado Boulder in 2021. Devin’s research involves experimental replication and testing of ancient combat and hunting weapons, including the atlatl and dart, bow and arrow, and rabbit stick (boomerang). These experiments inform archaeologists about the ballistic potential of ancient projectile weapons, as well as the signatures they leave behind in the archaeological record. Devin also researches the ecology of ancient and contemporary hunting, including what leads to hunter success, and how ancient hunting practices can better inform us about conservation and wildlife management policies in the modern world. Tune in as Dr. Devin Pettigrew joins Bobby Marshall in studio to discuss primitive tools, atlatl bow, stone points, arrowheads, archaeology, anthropology, human history, stone tools, flint napping, hunting, bison & science experiments.
