Urn tablet
An Urn tablet is a type of ancient clay tablet used primarily in Mesopotamia, typically during the time of the Sumerians and Babylonians. These tablets often had inscriptions that documented various aspects of daily life, such as religious practices, administrative records, or literary texts. The term "urn" refers to the shape of some tablets, resembling a vessel. They provide valuable historical insights into the society, culture, and economy of early civilizations. Many of these tablets have been discovered by archaeologists, allowing us to learn about ancient languages and human history.
