" The contest involved throwing long spears at small circular chunkey stones thrown down a playing field. It dates back over 1000 years but was still played by a few Native American peoples into the 19th century. A number of chunkey stones have been found at Aztalan through the years and another was discovered at the park in 2019. The contest played a special role in Mississippian culture.
