Detailed explanation-1: -Mesopotamia is a great cereal producer. Most important were barley (Sumerian ŠE/ Akkadian še’u(m)), because it was the best adapted to the dry, saline soil and to the hot temperatures of the region, while its short growing cycle meant it could reach maturity even in particularly hot, dry years.
Detailed explanation-2: -LABOR IN MESOPOTAMIA As agriculture became more advanced, surpluses were generated, freeing farmers to perform other jobs. Over time former farmers could earn enough to specialize in certain tasks and become what would qualify as craftsmen.
Detailed explanation-3: -The surplus food production generated by villages in the vicinity allowed for some residents not to participate in food production, which led to the development of distinct specialized roles and associated classes.
