What is the division of labor in the ancient world?

The division of labor is a historically established process when, as a result of labor, everyone performs a highly specialized type of activity. The first division of labor during the existence of primitive society can be considered the division into male and female labor. Women raised children and were engaged in gathering, men hunted, and also ensured the safety of the tribe.
A large division of labor took place during the transition to a productive economy in the Neolithic period, when agriculture and animal husbandry became separate activities. Later, a craft emerged from agriculture. Thus ended the main stage of the division of labor in the Ancient World.
