Angling
The method of fishing by using an "angle" (fish hook) attached to a fishing line that can be hurled outwards through the use of a rod. Light objects are used as "flies". Boats employ the use of longlining or trolling.
- Tools: corf, fish hook, float
- Culture: pleasure fishing becomes a contemplative, philosophical pastime.
Trap Fishing
The use of bronze metal fishtraps and chain (later, other metals and lacquered wood) for lowering a frame to the sea or river bottom to catch large shellfish and other bottom feeders.

Deep Sea Fishing
The widespread use of sailing vessels enables long fishing journeys, supported by larger fishing boats able to store food for weeks at a time. Commercial fishing for profit and trade is an extensive activity, pursuing fish far into the ocean under adverse conditions. Lack of a compass denies ocean-crossing. Simple fish-processing takes place.
- Tools: drift nets, gillnets
- Drifter: single-masted sailing vessel with animal skins or woven fabrics for sails. Fishing involves pulling a drift net.
- Culture: spread of news from abroad, rush of people to the waterfront with the return of ships followed by a feast and celebration.
- Blocks
- Dock: a group of structures for the handling of boats, including a solidly built stone-timbered pier with two to three storage structures and a small accounting office. Requires a minimum T(3) settlement.
