Tag along with us as we embark on our experimental archaeological journey to unravel the mysteries behind medieval fishing line technologies. Our team is conducting tests on hemp, linen, and horsehair fishing line to understand the tensile strength of each and their potential impact on fishing during the Middle Ages. We aim to shed light on this gap in the current literature, offering insights into the fishing techniques of the past.
