Hailey's Part:

-near the center of the city was the upper class(priests and merchants) -the homes were two stories high w/ wooden balconies and whitewashed mud walls -the balconies looked over courtyards -the outside walls were windowless to keep out the heat from the sun and the smells from the street

-behind the houses of the upper class is the middle class(government officials, shop keepers, and artisans which are skilled workers) -some historians think that government officials were upper class -most of skilled workers worked w/ metals like gold, silver, tin, lead, copper, and bronze -they made swords and arrowheads for the army, plows and hoes for farmers, and mirrors and jewelry for the upper class -these houses were also built around courtyards -these houses were only one story high and were mud brick houses

-farther out were the lower class(farmers, unskilled workers, and people who made a living by fishing)

-Sumerian houses faced away from crowded streets onto inner courtyard wher families ate and kids played -these houses also had flat roofs(people slept on these when it was hot outside) -oil lamps supplied the light in thes Sumerian houses

-people at higher levels of social structure have greater status than others

-slaves lived in owners' homes and had no property of their own
