[Bonetools] Bonetools Digest, Vol 70, Issue 3

[Boris Santander]

Dear all, 

Just to add:

I've been working with late Archaic (Epipaleolithic in "old world" key)
chilean pacific coastal bone tools, and we have a quite different
fishhook made of bone. It consists in a composite tool with a hook
attached to lithic "mini-barrel" or cilindric-shaped piece of sea-mammal
diaphisys. This kind of fishhook starts to appear c.a. 6500 a.p, in
coexistence with shell and cactus spine fishhooks.

Attached you will find a picture of one of this fishhook from Copaca-1
site (northern chile coast).

Besides, you can find a book with this and other coastal technologies
from Chile in the catalogue of the "Fishermen of the fog" exposition of
the Museo Chileno de Arte Precolombino, click here:

Happy (Gregorian) New year for everyone.
