This paper presents the corpus of prehistoric rotary querns stored in the Museum of
Archaeology of Stavanger, the largest collection of this type of mill in Norway. Most are linked
to excavations carried out of early longhouses by Jan Petersen in the early half of the 20th
century. The study focuses in part on the question of the introduction of the rotary movement
of mills in Norway and quern production based on surface materials predating the direct
extractive process identified at the medieval quarry district of Hyllestad.
