Mesopotamia was located between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in modern day Iraq. One of the earliest civilizations known, Mesopotamia was active in agriculture, given its location in the Fertile Crescent. Grains and animal products were mostly produced during this time.
There was no money system such as we have today; instead, people bartered using goods, animals, and other tangible items. Bartering is trading one thing for another, and the worth of these objects was often determined by demand, exotic qualities, and abundance.
