What were the earliest craft industries to emerge and how did they benefit those living in neolithic villages?

The Neolithic Era is traditionally considered the last part of the Stone Age and is a period in the development of human technology beginning about 15,200 BC. There were three main types of craft industries to emerge. They were pottery, metalworking, and textile production. These industries created specialized jobs and tasks for the Neolithic villagers. Each area had its own benefit from creating utensils and tools to warm clothing.
