KUNMING (Xinhua): A handful of seashells are on display in a museum in southwest China's border province of Yunnan, recording the country's past history of international communication.

Archaeologists believe that the seashells, imported from South and Southeast Asia over 2,000 years ago, were used as both currency and an important commodity in Yunnan.
