Sumer is the site of the earliest known civilisation, located in the southernmost part of Mesopotamia, between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. This area later became Babylonia. The first civilisation in Sumer was that of the Ubaidians – they actively practiced agriculture; developed trade; and established industries, including weaving, leatherwork, metalwork, masonry, and pottery.
