Oops! that should have read not: I will say that for example a nowrather
prominent and excellent historianleft UCLA in the 60s in high dudgeon,
because the tenure committee thought he didnt merit tenure, since Harvard
UP had published his first work...but "since Harvard UP had NOT published
his first work. I ruint me f'rinstance there.

Hello,
I don't know much about salt workers but I have seen the product of a
society of people who mined salt for a living. The salt mine (I can't
remember it's name) is just outside Krakow (in Poland). My
girlfriend and I visited the mine in 1995. We really intended to visit
Auschwitz but the train took us in the other direction and we ended
up at the mine. The mine is an incredible sight where the workers
carved intricate sculptures of mythical figures and even built an
underground cathedral, all out of salt.
I think it's quite famous and there is probably a lot written about it
somewhere so this might be a good starting point for you.
Regards
Mark
