The development of a system of writing, such as cuneiform, enabled Mesopotamians to keep records related to trade. Additionally, the geographic location of Mesopotamia, which was situated between major trade routes, allowed for the exchange of goods and ideas with neighboring civilizations. The invention of the wheel and plow also facilitated trade by making transportation and agriculture more efficient.
