What is a system for writing comprised of wedge shaped marks on clay in Mesopotamia?

cuneiform This system evolved from an earlier business accounting and shipping invoice/receipt system using clay tokens of various shapes representing different goods and hollow clay balls used to transport the tokens with shipments. The recipient would break the ball open, count the tokens and verify they matched the goods he received. Eventually it was decided to press the tokens into the outside surface of the clay ball before placing them inside, sealing the ball, and firing it so they could be verified in transit without breaking the ball. Ultimately the tokens were abandoned and the clay ball pressed flat to form a tablet and additional symbols were added to expand the system into a full writing system.


What order will sand gravel and clay settle in water and explain why they settle out in this order?

In water, sand will settle first, followed by gravel, and then clay. This order is due to the differences in particle size and density: sand particles are larger and heavier than clay, so they sink more quickly. Gravel, being even larger and denser than sand, also settles quickly. Clay particles are much smaller and lighter, which allows them to remain suspended in water for a longer period before settling.
