The people of ancient Sumer were divided into four main classes of people - the priests, the upper class, the lower class, and the slaves. Other then the slaves, who were captives of other cities and tribes, the people of Sumer lived their lives a lot alike. Class distinctions were generally in the quality of clothing and jewelry one wore. Priests were an exception. They shaved their heads and wore different types of jewelry.
