The Basketmaker atlatl type of the North American Southwest has a known wide distribution southward into Mexico, northward into the Great Basin, and as far east as the panhandle of Oklahoma. An artifact excavated in the early twentieth century from a Missouri bluff is clearly an atlatl of this type, extending its known occurrence into the Ozarks. A cross-peg atlatl from the Ozarks of Arkansas represents a type also present in the area surrounding the Trans-Pecos of south Texas. Both types of atlatl were in use by Mesoamerican groups at the time of contact. To complete this survey of the weapons, parts of atlatl darts from the Ozarks will also be examined. These artifacts add to a growing body of evidence for the prehistoric sharing of ideas and traditions between the Ozarks and the Southwest
