This is a very complex question, and one that Hittitologists have yet to settle. Clearly, there were slaves and freemen, rulers and subjects, soldiers and artisans, priests and "old women" (who were a cross between midwives and sorceresses). But there were also many ethnic groups. The short answer is that the nobles were at the top, and that nobles and priests were often one in the same (but not always). Priests and priestesses were highly regarded. Merchants were also highly regarded, and there were special laws with harsh sanctions for harming them. Slaves were at the bottom of society, but still had certain rights granted by law. The very lowest class was something called "hapiru," who seemed to have been stateless wanderers who were often violent, causing trouble along wilderness frontiers.
Several classes of people lived in Sumer. At the top was an upper class, which included priests, land owners, and government officials. These people had the largest and most luxurious homes, near the center of the city. Their houses were two stories high. Evidence suggests they had whitewashed mud walls.
In the middle was the common class. This included merchants and craftspeople. The craftspeople included highly skilled metalworkers. They worked with such metals as gold, silver, tin, lead, copper, and bronze. With these materials, they made swords and arrowheads for the army. They made tools like plows and hoes for farmers. They also made luxury items, such as mirrors and jewelry,
for the upper class. The common class also included farmers and fishermen. They lived in small, mud-brick houses at the edge of the city. Farmers
often worked to build or repair the irrigation systems. In times of war, they were forced to serve in the army.
At the very bottom of the social structure were slaves. They lived in their owners' homes and had no property of their own.
