Mankind acquired complex social settings, developped its cultural settings and furthermore harnessed its environmental assets. Regardless of time and place, communities interacted with each other, seeking growth. One could say that ‘Trades’ are a distinctive feature associated to mankind. To invest the intricacies of such dialogs; archaeological sciences have to flesh out appropriate approach with which we could the define details of some interactions of the past.
