@ryle_the_traveler: Part 387 | Ancient grinding stones in Africa were used for tasks like processing plants and grains, serving as essential tools for food preparation in both agricultural and pastoral societies. These artifacts, which include tools like grinding slabs, handstones, and mortars and pestles, also had symbolic and ritualistic uses, with examples found from the Later Stone Age through more recent periods. Archaeological evidence places their use back as far as the early Pleistocene, with some of the oldest tools on record found in Domboshaba in Botswana. #masunga #domboshaba #botswana🇧🇼tiktok #kalanga #nature
