quern, ancient device for grinding grain. The saddle quern, consisting simply of a flat stone bed and a rounded stone to be operated manually against it, dates from Neolithic times (before 5600 bc). The true quern, a heavy device worked by slave or animal power, appeared by Roman times. Cato the Elder describes a 2ndcenturybc rotary quern
The quern is an ancient tool used for grinding grain and other foods, such as pepper. The British Museum houses querns dating from the Neolithic and Bronze Ages, and there are dozens of examples of RomanoBritish querns. The Museum of London dates the Southwark Bridge quernstones to the eleventh century, and most scholars place them in a Late

The lower fixed concave stone was the bedstone or quern. The upper, handheld, moveable stone was called the rubber or handstone. This was moved

Neolithic plants and animals. The earliest crops that were grown include types of wheat known as emmer and einkorn, different varieties of barley, and possibly rye. To get at the flour within, the tough husk of these grains needed to be crushed. Saddle querns, socalled because they have the shape of a saddle from above, were used to do
Neolithic quern for making flour. Before farming arrived in Britain six thousand years ago, people collected wild plants and hunted wild animals, birds and fish to eat. Saddle querns were invented as tools for grinding grain to make flour. This object is a good starting point for exploring these changes in the lifestyle of early people in Britain.
Quernstones are stone tools for handgrinding a wide variety of materials. They are used in pairs. The lower stationary stone of early examples is called a saddle quern, while the upper mobile stone is called a muller, rubber or handstone. The upper stone was moved in a backandforth motion across the saddle quern. Later querns are known as rotary querns. The

Cojkuntepe, an Early Neolithic site in the coastal Troad region o/nw Turkey, has evidence for quern making dating to around 6000 calibrated radiocarbon years B.C. The surface debris at the site consists largely of tested blocks of stone, discarded and broken roughouts, percussion flakes, and used and broken hammerstones.

Medieval Rotary Querns. An unprecedented number of rotary querns were found during excavation of Medieval and Postmedieval buildings at Cromarty. The forty querns are broadly similar in size and style. The upper stones are flat disc querns, made by dressing a slab of sedimentary rock, or occasionally a schist slab, on the upper and lower

The Past. April 26. A few miles from Kirkwall, on the mainland of Orkney, the recent discovery of a large prehistoric quernstone has provided new evidence for the presence of an Early Neolithic settlement at the site. The saddle quern, which would have been used for grinding materials such as grain, surfaced during ploughing activity in
