Historical sources of social life in ancient times show us that their economy
was largely based on craftsmanship. Despite this, the craftsman was not given
the proper place in these societies with the difference and diversity of these
trades in terms of techniques and materials used and the nature of the craft, it
was difficult to evaluate these works and knowledge of financial and technical
