    In this paper an axiom system based on Legniewski's mereology and the primitive term parallelepiped is given for the class of affine geometries isomorphic to finite dimensional vector spaces over an ordered field. A definition of point-class and a relation of between among point classes is given. Then a bijective correspondence is developed between point-classes and points in ordinary affine geometry which is shown to be an isomorphism between our system and ordinary affine geometry.
