http://www.uady.mx/sitios/antropol/arqueologia/trabajo5.html
El lanzador de dardos.
Este guerrero tenía lanzadardos o atlatl, del tipo andrógino, tiene una muesca longitudinal (hembra) y un gancho (macho). Este gancho es bífido como la lengua de una serpiente. El mango es corto y tiene dos agujeros para los dedos índice y medio así como un asa que impide que sea arrojado junto con el dardo.
