Karanis was only about five miles from Lake Qarun. This proximity would suggest that fishing was a common way to supplement the usual cereal-based diet. Few fishhooks, however, were found at Karanis. Perhaps others were removed when the site was abandoned, or their valuable metal melted down and reused for other purposes. | |
