Issue Date: | 2019 | Publisher: | Universitat de Lleida | Journal: | Revista d'arqueologia de Ponent | Abstract: | This paper identifies the operational sequence of volcanic tuff rotary quern production on the Island of Gran Canaria. This is carried out by analysing the tool marks on the face of the La Calera (Agaete) quarry and the abandoned quern roughouts. Stone implements served in all of the stages of quern manufacture as metal tools were unknown in Pre-European Gran Canaria. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/73587 | ISSN: | 1131-883X | Source: | Revista d'arqueologia de Ponent [ISSN 1131-883X], n. 4, p. 119-126 (2019) | URL: | http://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/articulo?codigo=7262488 |
