For those of you writing a post-apocalyptic type of novel, or perhaps a medieval one, we thought we would put together a list of resource sites to aid in the social aspects of survival that your characters would likely encounter and experience.
1. Bartering
money.howstuffworks.com/bartering.html
For areas or situations where money is either not available or not an option.
2. Relaying information
https://ancientgreecefacts.com/greek-communication/
This one was harder. How could information be relayed without modern methods besides word of mouth? The ancient Greeks had quite a few ingenious methods.
3. Sanitation and Health
This was interesting...and a bit disconcerting as well.
https://allthatsinteresting.com/pre-industrial-history-gross/2
Hopefully, this wraps up all the different aspects of survival.
4. Types of Societies
This is a great resource to learn about Hunter Gatherer, Pastoral, Agricultural, Horticultural and Feudal Society types.
These resources can be invaluable in helping you craft your fictional world.
Happy Writing everyone!
