Net sinkers were attached to the edges of a fishing net to help the net sink underwater, making it easier to catch fish in rivers or the sea. Such sinkers were primarily made of stone or clay and come in various shapes. Their discovery serves as clear evidence that ancient people utilized nets for fishing.
