This almost square-shaped clay tablet records a Sumerian account of silver and other commodities. There are 8 columns of inscriptions; by this stage, the reed strokes are fully wedge-shaped and the writing could convey the Sumerian language in full. Probably from Shuruppak (Fara), Southern Mesopotamia, Iraq. Early Dynastic III, circa 2500 BCE. (The British Museum, London)
