Abstract

Fishing has always been a vital aspect of life in the Carpathian Basin due to its geographical conditions. After the adoption of Christianity and the introduction of various fasting days, this activity was of increased importance. However, medieval fishing techniques and the tools and objects associated with it have been little researched. Use-wear analyses show that this topic is indeed unexplored and that, in order to identify possible new tools, it is worthwhile to include the examination of material remains of this kind in the range of applicable methods, beyond field research.
