Q) what is meant by this?
Exchanges were regulated by a precise system of
weights, usually made of a stone called chert and
generally cubical , with no markings. The lower denominations of weights were binary (1, 2, 4,
8, 16, 32, etc. up to 12,800), while the higher
denominations followed the decimal system. The
smaller weights were probably used for weighing
jewellery and beads. Metal scale-pans have also
been found.
