FISHHOOKS All of the bone artifacts in this picture were found in the Aucilla River in Florida. Three different types of fishhooks are represented. The bottom row illustrates two different styles of fishhooks. The two examples on the left show the long bone from which a hook could be made and a similar size bone that is nearing completion as a finished fishhook. The two examples on the right show a slightly different style of fishhook as it appears in a late stage of manufacture. The fishhook at bottom right measures 2 inches (5 cm) long.
