Abstract
Flannery describes the identifiable tools, weapons, fragments of worked wood and related forest products (e.g. gum) excavated from Guilá Naquitz Cave. Major categories include fire drills (for starting fires), possible atlatl (spear thrower) hafting equipment, and sticks used to roast nopal (an edible cactus). Only artifacts from stratigraphic zones C and B pertain to the Early Archaic.
