Salt is one of those commodities that was widely produced and traded but we can't see archeologically. The salt itself of course dissolves and leaves nothing behind to find, in most cases. Fortunately, there are remnants of salt production processes that can be seen.
Two of the most impressive ancient sites in Europe are the salt mines of Hallstatt which date back to the Bronze Age, and Solnitsata, the Chalcolithic salt fortress of Bulgaria.
I went to film some of this stuff myself so I hope you enjoy the video!
As always, your views, likes, and shares are enormously appreciated.
