net needle

D. Fishermen used this oak fishing net needle to repair their nets.

It takes the form of a giant fishing net needle and stands a few metres from the sea at Garry Point Park.

For fishing, there were netting needles from deer ribs and bone harpoons that were attached to spears.

(Unknown) Fishing net needle Needle made of oak wood, used for repairing fishing nets.

An American nylon net was strung between two booms, and a net needle - a shuttle with a split tip - hung from an ongoing repair.

The exhibition, which runs until April 26, will complement the pictures with relics such as pressing stones, netting needles, hand barrows and even an oyster dredger.

The animals not only provided dairy products, meat, leather and wool for clothing; bone was used to make such things as combs, weaving tools and netting needles.

Unlike the preceding Middle Shield culture situation, however, a rich bone tool technology has managed to survive in the form of beaver incisor knives, awls, toggling and unilaterally barbed harpoons, and minor items such as snowshoe netting needles, beads, and pottery decorators.

The food produced in this way on the farm was supplemented by marine resources, mussels, limpets and periwinkles gathered on the foreshore, conger eel from the lower shore and whiting taken from the sea; nets were made on the farm using bone netting needles.
