Osservazioni sulla pesca in età preistorica. Attrezzature, catture e preparazioni

The poor conservation of the fish in prehistoric contexts and the difficulties of identification and collection of the remains greatly limit the possibility to trace a satisfactory drawing of alimentary use of marine and fresh water fish. Very fragmentary is the documentation of a few non-perishable parts, and then the activities that were put in place for the procurement of fish.Nevertheless, there are information to say that fishing practices have been, since the end of the Pleistocene, important part in the economies of the groups settled in river orlakes basins, or along the sea coast and we can reconstruct, in a largely hypothetical way, a part of fish capture methods.
