Mesopotamian tablets are some of the best archaeological evidence we find in relation to Mesopotamia. The writing was for the population a discovery of the gods, so it was considered sacred. The need of the people to regulate their life, to leave a record of their findings and constructions is what propitiates the beginning of writing. On the tablets, the great constructions, the administrative themes and even mythological stories could be captured. 
This typology of writing is called cuneiform, made in the form of a wedge, is recognized as one of the oldest forms of writing.
