A Day at The Market
Today you just go to the nearest supermarket conveniently in your car, the market floor is polished and the food is refrigerated with fixed prices. Well, this was not the case in Mesopotamia. The market were in the heat of the desert, with crowded places and dusty floors. There are no fixed prices, but instead there is barter and trade. Now a days when you trade in something you have the stuff but if you dont have the stuff you get a contract. In Mesopotamia they have a ball called a "bulla" which is made from clay and has the info of the deal, when the deal is ready they check the bulla for the deal.

Very good with very good vocabulary used in this unit. I liked how you made a good comparison between the two types of a market. As well you had a good description of the markets in both times and the life in both times.
