Prehistoric man, Stone Age hand-grinding
Captioned: 'When the woman wants to grind any corn, she kneels down, and, taking i both hands the convex stone, she rubs it up and down in the hollow of the lower stone with a motion similar to that of a baker pressing down his dough and rolling it in front of him.' Quern-stones are stone tools for hand-grinding a wide variety of materials. They are used in pairs. The lower, stationary, stone is called a quern, while the upper mobile stone is called a handstone. They were first used in the Neolithic to grind cereals into flour. Caption excerpted from 'Primitive Man' by Louis Figuier, 1871. This image has been colour-enhanced.
