Bronze fishhooks
Evidence of fishing in Gröden
This simple nail has U-shaped bends in three places and has one rolled-up and one sharp end. This is evidence that fishing took place in Grödner Bach stream (Ladin: Derjon) during the prehistoric period. The bronze hook was excavated together with other bronze utensils (clasps, nails, button, ring) in an Iron Age dwelling from the 4th to the 2nd century B.C. at Col de Flam.
