Shortly after the original article on the Susanville atlatl appeared in American Antiquity, Mr. M. R. Harrington, Curator of the Southwest Museum, wrote us that he had information which would probably clear up the problems presented by this unusual specimen. In the first place, it appears that Charlie Paiute was not the principal in the case, but rather his son-in-law, George Evans, husband of Charlie's daughter, Orrie Evans. Secondly, the evidence is incontrovertible that the origin of the Susanville atlatl was due to stimulation, by a professional archaeologist, of a native Indian workman. This possibility was recognized by us where we stated“ . . . Charlie Paiute may have learned the use of the atlatl in recent times from someone who was familiar with the San Juan archaeological specimens.”
