'Suspension' or as you cited in your question 'suspended load'. Fine materials can be suspended in the water and are carried away in such a method.

Where is sand and mud found?

How did Mesopotamians make mudbricks?

The Mesopotamians usually depended on the Tigris and Euphrates rivers to give them mud, the Mesopotamians gathered mud on the coast of the rivers and pounded them into a brick form, after that, they put them in the sun to dry and the next morning they get mud bricks. However, because there was no flood control near the rivers, floods kept taking away the chance for the Mesopotamians to gather mud, and make houses. Later on, they discovered how to control the rivers' flood frequencies.
