In page Commodity money:

"

The use of barter-like methods using commodity money may date back to at least 100,000 years ago.[citation needed] Trading in red ochre is attested in Eswatini, shell jewellery in the form of strung beads also dates back to this period, and had the basic attributes needed of commodity money.[citation needed] To organize production and to distribute goods and services among their populations, before market economies existed, people relied on tradition, top-down command, or community cooperation. Relations of reciprocity, and/or redistribution, substituted for market exchange.[citation needed]
