Jutte or jitte – a distinctive weapon of the samurai police, consisting of an iron rod with a hook. It could parry and disarm a sword-wielding assailant without serious injury. Eventually, the jutte also came to be considered a symbol of official status. [5] Examining descriptions of 57 forager societies spread around the globe, I found references to wooden clubs in the vast majority of them. But most communities have clubbed sparingly.

Crowbar – a tool commonly used as an improvised weapon, though some examples are too large to be wielded with a single hand, and therefore should be classified as staves. For instance, in Fiji, individuals crafted a great variety of clubs. In addition to war clubs, which took the form of strikers, prodders, penetrators, and throwers, Fijians fashioned clubs for peacetime, ceremonies, and sacred rites. After the death of chiefs, their favorite club reportedly often became a shrine, where their ghosts could dwell and engage with the living. Examples of cultural depictions of clubs may be found in mythology, where they are associated with strong figures such as Hercules or the Japanese oni, or in popular culture, where they are associated with primitive cultures, especially cavemen. Ceremonial maces may also be displayed as a symbol of governmental authority. Continually innovating and adapting, these diverse societies are not relics of bygone ways. Modern foragers can, however, inspire insights about the ancient club question. They showcase the varied ways foragers use wooden clubs for hunting or other activities.

Telescopic baton – a rigid baton capable of collapsing to a shorter length for greater portability and concealability Combining those lines of evidence, I’m convinced the earliest modern humans likely wielded clubs—probably more often for conflicts than hunting. Worraga – An Australian-aboriginal club [15] with boomerang-like aerodynamics. Can be thrown or hand-held. At the same time, wife-capture was also a eugenic fantasy that fed into the idea that the most racially advanced women were fragile, while women in more “primitive” societies were tough and strong. Darwin had argued that, over the course of the human ascent from savagery, the difference in strength between men and women grew. The idea that the capture of beautiful women by strong warriors led to the improvement of the human race fit perfectly with the Victorian ideal of feminine weakness. It also fed into fears about male degeneration in increasingly “civilized” urban society. To investigate the ancient wooden club myth, I searched archaeological reports for any mention of the artifacts. I didn’t expect to find much, however, because wood rapidly decays in most environments. For a wood artifact to survive beyond 1,000 years, the item must have settled in an extremely dry place, been charred to a crisp or gotten waterlogged somewhere such as in a bog.
