Devin Pettigrew

Devin Pettigrew is a research and field archaeologist, hunter, angler, and general outdoor enthusiast. Devin's passion is understanding the weapons, tactics, and ecologies of ancient hunting peoples. To research this, he uses experimentation involving reconstructed tools like the atlatl and dart, as well as ethnographic (more recent historical) accounts of Indigenous hunting societies, and data from modern wildlife management. The results provide details of ancient human adaptations through the traces they left behind. Devin is currently a scholar in residence at the University of Colorado Boulder.
