Recent archaeological discoveries in the Fertile Crescent are extremely important in terms of revealing the origins of accounting. These discoveries have not only revealed the 10.000- year history of the accounting, but also lighted the way how calculations were made in a period when numbers and writing were not yet invented. In this study, the archaic accounting system - which is extensively used in the Ancient Near East in the previous period of the invention of writing and numbers, so nearly between B.C.8000 and B.C. 3000 - will be examined. The role of this accounting system in the emergence of abstract counting, hence also in the invention of numbers, will be explained by archaeological findings.
