Re:  Salt mines

Halstatt was mined from the 10th century BC, according to archaeological
findings in the region.  It's actually in Austria, in a region known as the
Salzkammergut (gee, go figure).  There are over 2000 tombs, containing corpses
perfectly preserved, with all their goods.  Backpacks, earthenware pots, picks
and other mining tools, etc.  The French had Arc-et-Senans, with salt works
built by Louis XV's architect Ledoux, but having a long history of salt making
before that "modern" works was built.  

Walk  in peace,
Wolfmother
