Yeah, I guess middle ages is the wrong word to use. more of an evolved form of Native American Civilization(s)
Anyways, those bisons and peccaries sound good, but for some reason aren't considered domesticable (which depends of course on how domesticable auroch was compared to a bison), so we'll put it under thinking cap.
However, one thing to consider is the (wide) existence of currency based economy. My knowledge of Native American economics is poor, but I believe it was mostly based around barter trading, or at least I haven't heard or read anything about the use of coinage.
So, what I want to know is, what materials were used for currency in Americas, and if there wasn't any, what would have been the best ones?
