Eel-spears
View through CrossRef
British fish-spears fall readily into one or the other of two main groups. The first coqsists of ‘transfixing spears’, i.e. spears having one or more tines with barbed points which pierce and secure the fish. This group included salmon ‘leisters’, flounder-spears, pike-spears and, in fact, spears for most edible shallow-water fish. The type has a long history, being represented in Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece and prehistoric Europe (e.g. La Tène) (I). I hope in due course to trace its development in Britain.
