Hi, I am curious if you have found any reports of cowrie shells used by Wesit Slavs in medieval times or even other cultures earlier on? I get hints of European cowries being used and traded, but I haven't found report specifically up north (Poland) until the 18th century. Any info is greatly appreciated!
Hello, sadly I don’t really remember them being mentioned in resources I’ve seen so far. A quick google search pointed me to earlier discoveries (Lusatian culture, neolithic cultures) but yielded nothing from the early medieval times. If anyone knows a good source, I’d appreciate a message!
