Enrico Felici: Thynnos. Archeologia della tonnara Mediterranea: Edipuglia, Bari, 2018, 270 pp, 2 appendices, text in Italian, ISBN 978-88-7228-872-6.

This is the part of the book where the ethnography of tuna fishing, in the broad sense that is adopted by Felici, unfolds. In the archaeological and historical literature, issues related to fishing technology and its implications often remain hazy to those readers who have no first-hand experience in fishing, and tuna fishing in particular. With the next chapter on slaughtering, preserving, cooking tunas and tunas in medicine, "Macellazione, conserve, cucina e medicamenti", Felici moves on to discuss what happened to the fish after their capture. The fourth chapter, the largest in this book, focuses on ancient tuna fishing, "La pesca antica". [Extracted from the article]
