The Basket Maker Style of the American Southwest
A basket maker style atlattl was common about 1500 BCE in central and southern Nevada northern Arizona um southern colorado. Because of the aridity of the desert here we find more intact atlattles in the american southwest than we do anywhere else in the world. The most intact atlattle ever found is the broken roof cave atlattle who was found in the 1920s or 30s in Arizona.
