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 vast corpus of cuneiform records from this period sheds light
on the various mechanisms behind the development of this cultural
innovation. Weighing became the means of articulating the value of
both imported and locally-produced goods within a socioeconomic
system that had reached an unprecedented level of complexity. This
study provides a comprehensive analysis of this cultural and
economic phenomenon, which simultaneously reflected and shaped the
relationships between individuals and groups in Mesopotamia
throughout the third millennium BCE.
