A series of ancient drawings at a Palaeolithic site in Germany appear to show fish caught in nets, suggesting that the use of this fishing technology may go back further than previously thought. Etched into stone plaquettes, the engravings have been dated to 15,800 years ago and form part of a large body of artworks uncovered at a prehistoric camp in Gönnersdorf. |
