Fishhook methods

The classification method applied here follows Carlier and Conte (2009) and is based on an invariable principle: the shape of the shank, straight or curved in this assemblage. This gives the general shape of the hook. Other attributes then qualify the various typological ramifications (shape of the point, its length, ratio between the point and the shank, shape of the bend).
