Detailed explanation-1: -The merchants traded food, clothing, jewelry, wine and other goods between the cities. Sometimes a caravan would arrive from the north or east. The arrival of a trade caravan or trading ship was a time of celebration. To buy or trade these goods, the ancient Mesopotamians used a system of barter.
Detailed explanation-2: -They didn’t use paper money or coins yet but they ended up using barley for local trade. Because barley was heavy, they used lead, copper, bronze, tin, silver and gold as currency to buy things away from their local area. You had to borrow barley from a barley banker and the banker charged very high interest.
Detailed explanation-3: -In Mesopotamian civilizations the materials and the goods were carried by humans and animals with the help of instruments such as sled, cart, and boat. Boat transportation was very convenient and economic; these watercrafts had a capacity of around one hundred shekels.
