Primitive glue making

[DC]

This is another one I'm having trouble understanding. Back when all we had for bowls was a hollowed out stump, how did we make decent hide/sinew glue? I know we used hot rocks but again, logistics. If you are moving hot rocks back and forth between the fire and the "pot" for 4-5 hours how do you keep the glue clean? How do you end up with any glue at all when you take a bit back to the fire on the cooled off rocks every trip? Has anyone ever tried this?

Some primitives used skin pouches or bags, suspended over a fire to cook in. The liquid in the bag kept it from burning through. These bags only lasted a limited time but plenty enough for a few batches of glue.

Seems like from what i have been reading in the various glue threads, it doesn't have to be all that hot to reduce skin to glue.
A warm rock with a depression in it like a lamp seems possible.
Has anyone has read of any accounts of primitive glue making methods, even after pottery was invented?

Experimental archaeology sounds like a whole lot of fun. You get paid to figure this kind of stuff out

Have you Googled "primitive glue making" or "types of primitive glue"

Welk and conch shells were used down here for bowls and ladles.

I have now They are mostly pitch glue or if they are hide glue they start with"use an old pot"

I have picked p enough fire blackened pottery shards while artifact hunting to realize primitive man had no shortage of pots to put over a fire.

Glue was made sometimes by chewing the hide or bladder of fish then spitting it into a bowl

Dont forget,that some Rock was formed into natural bowls as well and were utilized.
