Two forms of prehistoric atlatl or spear thrower were recovered from a Florida swamp in 1895 by Frank Hamilton Cushing. Modern research on spear throwers requires a more useful detailed description of these artifacts, and leads to attempts to replicate and test them. In this case, replicative experiments provide some subjective evaluations of the atlatls, and several possible interpretive directions. As in many replicative experiments, physical tests of some aspects of the atlatls, such as possible length, are relatively easy, but do not fully solve the problem of choosing among different plausible reconstructions of the original specimens
