I was just reading about how the Quern Stones was a technology that was invented not only in the Fertile Crescent but independently in China. The development of the Water Wheel for grinding is when populations and technology took off.
One of the problems that occurred with stones like this one, is the sand or ground rock that wound up in the food. After a while it ground the teeth of those who ate the grains to down stumps that rotted out.
I was wondering if you had any idea how much flour a person, an ancient person, could make using one of these? Like about how long it takes to make, let's say, a cup of flour?
