Presentation by Days of Knights P/L to the 3rd Annual Australian Early Medieval Association Conference on "The Daily Grind", grain processing in pre 12th century England, including a hands on session of flailing and grinding flour using grindstones (querns). 28/9/2006
Is there any danger of mixing stone dust into the flour?

The shock is that grain is still being ground on a flat stone with a roller in Africa. A few years ago, Scientific American had an article on the damage this did to the skeleton of women who had done the work for a life time. They were never the same again.
