Abstract:

Stone spinning wheels, whose analyses of type and technology contribute to the understanding of stone industries, were an important tool used in the Yangshao period. This paper analyzes some of these objects in terms of typology, statistics and microwear. Understanding the use of stone spinning wheels in textile production shows a close relationship between the type and technology of these objects. It is clear that the stone spinning wheel had two different types: a pipe-drilling technology and a flaking-percussing technology.

Key words: Zhengzhou, stone spinning wheel, yangshao period, type, technology
