Abstract

Francis et alia (2022) propose that the Sheep Mountain net (48PA1022) was used for large game; however, they present no data to support this proposed function. The size and configuration of the net fall within the range for rabbit nets recorded elsewhere.

Francis et alia (2022) proponen que la red de Sheep Mountain se utilizara para la caza mayor. No obstante, no ofrecen ningunos datos para apoyar esta función propuesta. El tamaño y la forma de la red caen dentro de la gama para redes para cazar conejos anotada en otras partes.
