In the past, this millstone was used to grind grains such as wheat, barley, mung beans, and corn. Photo: @Van Yüzüncü Yıl University.

Wheat is crushed and ground into flour when the upper grinding stone rubs against the lower grinding stone, thanks to the friction between the two stones. Photo: @Van Yüzüncü Yıl University.

The erosion of the stone slab indicates that it was once used extensively. Photo: @Van Yüzüncü Yıl University.
