Description

Lines made from various types of animal skins were used on harpoons, for tying things together, and for a variety of other purposes. Lines up to several metres in length were made cutting a narrow strip in one continuous piece from a single hide. The skins were first scraped to remove the underlying flesh, and the hair was also removed.
