Cuneiform
Archaeologists call the Sumerian writing system "cuneiform". We do not know what the Sumerians called it.
The Sumerians used a wedge-shaped tool called a stylus to write on clay tablets. This writing system, known as cuneiform, involved pressing the stylus into the soft clay to create various symbols and characters. Cuneiform was used for record-keeping, literature, and administrative purposes in ancient Mesopotamia.
Cuneiform was written on clay tablets with a stylus which was usually a reed, flattened on one end to make the impression in the clay. The impressions were wedge-shaped. Cuneiform means "wedge-shaped".
