1. The Bow and Arrow Marker
Referencias escritas en el siglo XVI dicen que las sociedades chichimecas ofrecían su primera caza al sol para después ellos comer de esa cacería ritual. En Arroyo Seco encontramos dos escenas de caza: se trata de personajes, algunos con tocado, sosteniendo grandes arcos y acechando cérvidos.
The bow and arrow
References written in the sixteenth century say that Chichimeca societies offered their first hunt to the sun and then they ate from that ritual hunt. In Arroyo Seco we find two hunting scenes: these include characters, some with headdresses, holding large bows and stalking a type of deer.
