The book gives attention to cultural technics of calculating and metrology in ancient near eastern economic system administration in Syria of the 3rd and 2nd millennium BC. Merchants, representatives of institutions and administrations but also individuals were using metrological and arithmetical competences e.g. negotiation of resources, manufacturing processes, merchandises, etc. Some practices have left traces like archaeological artefacts or textes on cuneiform tablets.
