Early Mesopotamian society was characterized by the rise of urban centers, complex social hierarchies, a bureaucratic system, and a foundation in agriculture and irrigation, supported by a sophisticated economy driven by commerce, crafts, and specialized labor. The development of writing (cuneiform) was a major innovation, documented in vast archives of clay tablets that reveal detailed information about government, law, trade, and daily life, providing insights into this surprisingly modern, influential, and self-analytical ancient culture.
