trade in iron goods over a very long period |

Wakching, on the other hand, supplied many villages with daos and other iron goods as many villages have no smith such as Shiong, Tanhai, Pungkhung, Oting, Longlam, Wangla, (245) Totok, Chongwe, Chingtang, Chinglong, Yungya and Kamahu. I asked in vain about a tradition concerning an iron or metal-less time. As long as human memory recalls the Konyak smiths traded for iron and steel from Assam. Some things which I heard about the Ou-nie-bu but I shall talk about in context. |
