Neolithic domestic economy:
The Neolithic period was decisive
in the division of labor and division
of women in domestic activities.
According to the research of prehistorian Gordon Child , a set of
critical technologies were the result
of domestic activities of women
(men in his analysis had the role
of hunter / gatherer). Procedures
and devices such as the furnace,
the alcoholic fermentation methods
conservations, or liquids extraction
were create by womans. It is only
in the context of the emergence of
trade, that these techniques are
out of the home through men and
have acquired a market value. The
kitchen would be a basis technicist
development of humanity . It is also
the sign of the passage of a domestic economy (use value ) to a public
economy (market value). It is in this
transition from hunter/gatherers to
an equipped society that is introduces the sexual division of labor and
social roles.
