I can also recommend Carina Olson´s PhD thesis "Neolithic Fischeries.

Ämne: Re: [ZOOARCH] early human-fish relationships
Hi Everyone,
My PhD was on fishing during the Middle and Upper Palaeolithic in Western
Europe, featuring a section on art.
Julia, I can send you a pdf of the chapter? Most of my PhD is unpublished
at the moment. However, Emily Blake and I are in the process of combining
our data for publication in the near future.
All the best, Hannah

Fish and Fishing in Ancient Egypt by D. Brewer and R. Friedman and
Boulenger's work on fish in Egypt (I forget the title) are good for Egypt as
a starting point.

Hello,
I wondered if anyone may be able to point me in the direction of
literature which looks at ancient representations of fish in art? Also,
which highlights the importance of marine resources to early humans as food,
linked to spirituality, art etc?
In particular, does anyone know of any literature surrounding this cave
art featuring fish?

Also, pictish salmon stone carvings (see attached)?
Are there any other ancient representations of fish that you know of?
I have been intrigued by the recent research into the possible
importance of animals to human evolution which has found that the human
right amygdala appears to be specialised for use in dealing with animals,
supporting Shipman's theory of 'the animal connection' (see attached), I'm
investigating this, specifically fish, as part of my PhD in human-fish
relationships.
Thanks very much for your help!
