Hi OP. As this question stands, it's falling afoul of the sub's example-seeking rule, essentially asking for disjointed examples from any (preindustrial) culture. But presumably you have something more specific in your mind's eye: can you zero in on a culture/region and time period? That information would greatly assist anyone considering answering here. Thanks!
