I unfortunately don't have internet sources, but this book has an entire chapter on "Camels and Prophets," entailing the history of Arabian trade. Really an interesting read, as it tracks through history through economic eyes.
Yeah, i been reading A Splendid Exchange: How trade Shaped the World, and Bernstein talks about how obsidian was the first traded item due to its strength and uses. Its amazing stuff. I wonder if the cost benefits of obsidian blades versus steel blades is better.
