In Medieval-early modern times, goods were transported between places mostly
by headloaders (like seen in the picture). Due to their enormous physical toll and
long distances, there were many places in such routes where their headloads

One good example of this practice can be seen in one of the 10 core regions of
the galaxy being named _______ Reaches (which would not make sense in
