I think I'd include salt, but exclude food. Food is bulky and hard to transport. There's some notes on this at <http://www.pensee.com/dunham/facts/braudel.html>.

I'm not really sure what you mean by "strategic" -- I don't think clans would be crippled by a lack of weapons trade. Lack of bronze, perhaps.
