 "The woman's net--made and used by the women--is a scoop net employed in shallow water. It is made on a spiral foundation of splints from palm leaves. These are broken out, leaving an oval net, which is fastened by the edge to a wooden hoop." Yoni, Sitia Chiefdom. 
"Cast nets are thrown from the canoes. Their use is here demonstrated by an expert on the beach at Yoni. They are weighted round the edges and fall into folds in the water, enclosing any fish that may be underneath them." Sitia Chiefdom. ............. >> return to [Economy in the 30's] |
