Agriculture and tokens--the first accounting records. The domestication of livestock and grains started at
different sites about the same time. Simple tokens were associated with agricultural sites, clay balls of various
7500 BC shapes (round, oval, etc.) representing specific goods (e.g, 2 round tokens could be a pair of cattle, 12 oval
tokes a dozen units of wheat). This was the first representation of inventory and the beginning of the concept
of numbers.
Writing. Over the next 5,000 years, accounting records advanced from simple to complex tokens representing
3200 BC inventory, to clay tablets, to the development of abstract symbols and cuneiform writing in Sumeria. This
paralleled advances in agriculture, pottery and textiles, building, war and nation-states.
