content: FROM LOGBOOK: 1 BONE FISHHOOK , WITH EXHIBIT PROP CORD - VIRGINIA (ARCHEOLOGY). Carved fishhook fashioned from a single piece of bone (?); undecorated. It has a fine tapered point and is notched at the attachment end. This object was formerly on exhibit in NHB Hall 9, case 8. Exhibit book identified it as archeological and from Virginia, but did not list a catalogue number for it. This object could possibly be # 340982? (even though the measurements do not quite match up). - F. Pickering and J. Krakker 12-29-2004

content: In 2004, when this object was removed from exhibit in NMNH Hall 9, case 8, it was found to have an attached length of cotton thread, darkened with orange adhesive to give the appearance of sinew, attached by knotting to the notched end of the hook. During conservation treament, the modern thread was removed from the hook but retained with the object.
