Even with agriculture you are limited by area of agricultural land
within the range set by the perishability of your food and the means
to transport it.

Large towns and cities are absolutely dependent on transport.

I'm thinking I have to mostly stick to fishing villages with 50-60
people for the sedentary clans.
I'm wondering if I can have them w/ fishing poles. We know they fished
but we don't know how.
Oldest stone hooks are 20,000...but was bone used before that date?

How about nets and spears?

We know maori used nets thousands of feet long. Why should not our
primitive ancestors?


Excellent thanks.
But what about bone hooks? Is it plausible?

For the first sentence of a story something like:


"Half a million years ago, by a river near a bay, the sidhe sat with
his back to a luan tree, casting his fishing line into the water."

It kind of gives a rustic, hobbit-like mood.
