dc.description.abstract | This study is based on the assemblage of grinding stones from the Greek colony of
Selinunte in Sicily. Most were brought to light in well stratified contexts dating to the 6th century
BC making them ideal subjects for research on the development of early milling techniques.
In addition to saddle querns, Selinunte has Olynthus mills and mills driven by rotary motion
were discovered in previous excavations that are also representative of advances in milling
technology. The Selinunte assemblage can be compared to contemporary mills from elsewhere
throughout the Mediterranean Basin. Based on these comparisons, we suggest a saddle type of
mill model comprising of a boat-shaped upper stone and a roughly rectangular-shaped lower
stone as a precursor of the Olynthus mill. The sources of the rock point to mainland Sicily,
the Aeolian Islands and perhaps from the Aegean Islands bolstering the supposed importance
of this coastal settlement as a centre of trade in the central Mediterranean. | ca_ES |
