A recent study reveals the symbolic significance of grinding tools used by early Neolithic societies in Europe, particularly emphasizing their importance in the lives of women. The tools were buried in ritual deposits, reflecting their symbolic value and connection to the cycles of time, human life, nature, and the evolution of settlements. The research indicates that the grinding stones were essential to the daily tasks of women and the selection of new, used, and almost worn-out tools symbolizes the transition from generation to generation. The deliberate arrangement of the tools and their levels of wear are associated with human life cycles, serving as an allegory of birth, life, and death.
