Material and Form Effects on Fishhook Durability: Experimental Assessment of Late Pleistocene Fishhooks

Summary
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2025: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
Although fish-hooks are a global technological phenomenon over 20,000 years old, bone and shell fish-hooks are under-researched experimentally. In this study we assess whether differences in material and form produce significant differences in hook durability. Consensus artifact models representing averages of Late Pleistocene fish-hook assemblages from the Tron Bon Lei Rock Shelter in Indonesia and the Jordan River Dureijat site in Northern Israel were used as the basis for artifact replication and testing.
