👉 The slave weapon, also known as the atlatl or spear-thrower, was a prehistoric tool used for hunting large game. It consisted of a shaft with a hook or notch at one end, which was attached to a stone or bone point. The user would throw the weapon, allowing the hook to propel the point further and with greater force than a hand-thrown spear. This innovation increased hunting efficiency by extending the range and power of spears, making it a crucial tool for early human societies.
