Grinding Stone No. 1

Grinding Stone No. 1

Grinding stone with a carved concavity that allows food to be ground. Dimensions: 85 × 55 × 20 cm. Accompanied by its hand (grinding instrument).

Grinding stones are direct evidence of the daily life of the ancient inhabitants. The Vegonia site is especially rich in lithic industry: in addition to grinding stones, Professor Llanos documented obsidian carvings—knives, scrapers and blades—from local volcanic sources.
