Sumerian administrative document on clay tablet in cuneiform script 1.
Description: One clay tablet with Sumerian cuneiform writing from the Ur III (ca. 2100-2000 BCE) period. This is one of the so-called "messenger texts," that generally list six types of goods (beer, bread, oil, naga, fish, onion) in quite regular quantities. The commodity designated as naga is generally held to be a product derived from an alkali-bearing plant; based on its common attestation together with what were presumably dried fish, this product may in turn have been used in the preparation of fish or other foodstuffs.
