Resumen:
The large quantity of fish bones retrieved from archaeological excavations at Tell el- Ghaba clearly shows the importance of fishing as a permanent activity in all occupational levels. Recovered material consists of a few hooks and a large quantity of net sinkers in lead and stone. This material has been catalogued and compared to other collections along Egypt and Nubia, as well as depictions and models found in tombs from different periods. According to this evidence, fishing techniques at the site do not differ from those used along the Nile throughout the Dynastic period.
