Watch out, prehistoric animals! Students in a class led by Assistant Professor Michelle Bebber, Ph.D., are learning how to use the ancient weapons used by early hunters.
These students are practicing using an atlatl – an ancient device that allowed prehistoric hunters of lesser strength to throw spears with as much force and velocity as stronger hunters.
Hands-on learning opportunities like this expand the students' experience beyond the classroom and help them develop a deeper understanding of the topics they are studying.
