Morphological changes in starch grains after dehusking and grinding
The residues from both used and unused facets of the stone tools were then extracted, and the starch grains studied for morphological features and changes from the native states. The results show that (1) Dehusking did not significantly change the size and morphology of millet starch grains; (2) After grinding, the size of millet starch grainsWe used both qualitative and quantitative methods to identify the function(s) of 104 grinding stones recovered from Madjedbebe and examine morphology, usewear and residue traces.65,000-years of continuous grinding stone use at Madjedbebe

Morphological changes in starch grains after dehusking and grinding
Research on the manufacture, use, and use-wear of grinding stones (including slabs and mullers) can provide a wealth of information on ancient subsistence strategy and plant food utilization.Grinding is a subset of cutting, as grinding is a true metal-cutting process. Each grain of abrasive functions as a microscopic single-point cutting edge (although of high negative rake angle), and shears a tiny chip that is analogous to what would conventionally be called a "cut" chip (turning, milling, drilling, tapping, etc.) [citation needed].Grinding (abrasive cutting)

Grindstone Minecraft Wiki
A grindstone is a block that repairs items and tools as well as removing enchantments from them, except for curses. It also serves as a weaponsmith's job site block. Grindstones can be obtained using any pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing. Grindstones naturally generate at village weaponsmiths. A grindstone can be oriented in different Functional analysis of stone grinding and pol- patterns, although it may well prove possible to discrimi- ishing tools from the earliest Neolithic of north-western nate between larger softer kernels and smaller harder Europe.
