A 6,000-year-old copper fishhook— one of many oldest identified on this planet—presumably for fishing sharks or very massive fish, was found within the Israel Antiquity Authority excavations carried out earlier than the development of the brand new Agamim neighborhood in Ashkelon in 2018. The discover, introduced right here for the primary time, shall be exhibited in April on the forty eighth Archaeological Congress, organized by the Israel Antiquity Authority, the Israel Exploration Society, and the Israeli Archaeological Affiliation.
