We have been researching prehistoric grain processing techniques for 10 years or more; particularly the malting of grain. This appears to be contemporary with the first cultivation of grains c.10,000 BC in the fertile crescent. The ease of converting malted grains into sugars may have motivated cultivation. Malting is crucial to a proper understanding of the origin of grain agriculture and is a process that has been so far overlooked by archaeologists.

I an a neophyte at this but L. Stague De Camps book on the "Ancient Engineers" from about thirty years ago gives a great view of the impact of the Quern. I hope somebody more acceptant that I can update the site. certainly the quern was instrumental in freeing the farmers from the monopoly of the government flour mills. ----
uses
[edit]Starting at least by the 20th century, querns, especially hand-stones, have been used as paving and as decoration and "justification." Perhaps some-one can find a citation for this and then add it. I also seem to recall that they were used in paving in Britain in relation to the confiscation of private mill-stones.
