Not exactly sure. Both salt and pepper have been cultivated for the past 4000 years (by the Assyrians and Indians, respectively). However salt comes from rock, whereas pepper comes from a plant that must be ground before use. I would say salt.

Before salt and pepper shakers were in common use, salt was served in a tiny bowl or small shallow dish.Each diner could take a pinch from the salt "cellar" to add to their own food. Pepper might not have been placed on the table at all, but was added to food in the kitchen along with other seasonings.
