Answer 2

1. Cooking -- Although not actually a long term solution it was just natural after discovering fire and kept foods for a few days to weeks that would have roted in a couple of days if left raw.
2. Dehydrating, including smoking, sun drying, etc This is likely the oldest true form of preservation.
3. Salting The reason that salt was such a valuable commodity in very ancient times. This may have preceded dehydrating in some geographic areas. Adding other natural preservatives and pickling came later.
4. Refrigeration and freezing -- These were used as the seasons or location allowed but have been used even in primitive cultures for centuries. Evaporative cooling and ice making techniques were an early discovery. Also, included in this are cold cellars, etc.
5. Adulteration -- Processes such as adding a benign fungus that makes cheeses last without refrigeration, etc.
