Iron Fishhook
A further consequence of fish as a staple is a core relationship between those peoples and seafaring. We have an expectation of universal seafaring competency and a cultural value on sailing then from Norse communities, especially those closer to the coast and further north. This is certainly consistent with our medieval texts, with the seafaring nature of the Norse being perhaps their most consistently reported feature. This fishhook represents the complexity of the Norse diet and how connected the Norse people were with the sea and its fisheries.
