fish net1927.1734 . 176377

« A single gill net is in very fragile condition, and its total length cannot be determined with certainty, although it appears to be at least 35 m long and 40 cm wide. The meshes are square and approximately 5 cm on a side. The net is made from light twine knotted with a weaver's knot. The selvage lines, placed along the top and bottom edges, are of a heavier twine than that used for the mesh. The manner in which the selvage lines are attached to the net is described in some detail for Mistassini nets by Rogers (1967, pp. 85-86). According to Speck's notes, a net of this type was "for general purposes" but it would seem to be too light for taking large fish.» Vanstone, James W. "The Speck Collection of Montagnais Material Culture from the Lower St. Lawrence Drainage, Quebec." Fieldiana. Anthropology. New Series, No. 5 (October 29, 1982), p.7.
