Les objets paléomonétaires de l'Europe atlantique protohistorique

Abstract

Summary. —The first examples of pre-money are the Columbella shells of the Mediterranean. Some Chalcolithic exports included copper spear heads from Palmela and crockery beads from Egypt. There was also « ring money » consisting of copper rings covered in silver and gold. Pieces of bronze were also broken for exchange. Armorican lead socketed axes are the first complete system of paleo-money. In England another form of pre- money were the iron currency bars of the Early Iron Age.
