A bundle of seine plummets of water-polished sea stones (shingles) wrapped in birch bark, packed with a string, and tightly tied together. Nets and seines were also widespread, made from nettle threads wetted with elk blood. To the lower edge of a single net, stone plummets were tied, and to the upper edge, birch or poplar bark floats were tied.
