This book explores the reasons for which weights and scales were used to measure goods in Early Mesopotamia (ca. 3,200-2,000 BCE). The cuneiform records from this period sheds light on the development of this cultural innovation. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of this cultural and economic phenomenon, which both reflected and shaped the relationships between individuals and groups in Mesopotamia throughout the third millennium BCE.
