People have been using natural salt water for salt longer than mining rock salt. They would have communal boiling pans where salt scum was scraped off the top. Salt peter was also used at times I think, and it grows naturally in urine and on dead things. (ancient peoples used urine for a lot of chemical needs.) Another thing to note is that most meat was preserved in salt so most recipes called for washing the salt off the food. As it would be TOO salty to eat.
