Projectile points that launched spears into action were expertly used for hunting purposes. A device called Estólica played a key role in this process, where one part was employed to propel the projectile forward while the other directed it precisely at its target. Guanacos, agile and quick animals, often fell prey to these expertly crafted projectiles. This remarkable find comes from the Camarones 14 site, renowned as the oldest within the Chinchorro Culture.
