To understand how the production of flour was organised in a settlement it is necessary to study the tools (querns and millstones), structures (such as corn-driers, mills, bakeries and granaries) and environmental evidence (plant remains) that form the archaeological record. This article focuses on the main tools involved in the process -- the querns and millstones -- and draws in other strands of evidence. A total of 338 fragments were found at eighteen sites in and around Ewell, a roadside settlement situated on Stane Street c 21km from London, and these are described together with an analysis of their forms, lithology, dating and spatial distribution. Discussion then focuses on where the querns in the settlement were coming from and how this supply was organised before addressing wider points of interest such as whether grain processing was dominant in any particular area, to what extent grain processing was centrally organised inside the settlement and, significantly, what further research questions this analysis poses for Ewell and for the research agenda. | ||
