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.
