Atlatl Rock, Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada

Ancient Anasazi petroglyphs cover a rock face, known as Atlatl Rock in the Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada. The rock art may be more than 1,500 years old. The rock is named for the two symbols at the top, immediately below the bighorn sheep. The object below the sheep is the atlatl and the object just below that is the dart. An atlatl is a hunting device that is also sometimes called a spear thrower.
