Read the following passage regarding early medieval agrarian societies.
In analyzing the economic structure of early medieval agrarian societies, historians have historically relied on a manorial model that assumes a largely self-sufficient, localized economy. Under this paradigm, the typical manor is depicted as producing nearly all the goods required for the daily survival of its inhabitants. Grain and timber were harvested directly from the demesne, while textiles were woven on-site by peasant households. Furthermore, the model presumes that basic iron tools were forged by the local blacksmith using locally sourced materials, meaning the manor only needed to import luxury items for the elite. However, recent archaeological excavations of peasant dwellings have consistently unearthed items that contradict this model of strict localism. Specifically, researchers have found substantial quantities of non-local pottery, marine fish bones in inland settlements, and regionally standardized copper coins, indicating active participation in regional markets.
Statement: According to the passage, the traditional manorial model assumes that the typical manor was self-sufficient in its production of all of the following goods EXCEPT basic iron tools.
