After we had found the plough, we found a seed drill that was used to plant the wheat seeds in the field. This invention saved seeds by sowing them evenly and by covering them up so that the birds could not eat them after they had been sown.
	This is the mill stone that was used to grind up the wheat seeds. The seeds are taken up to the top of the mill in a sack on a chain and then they are poured down a chute into the eye of the stone. When the wheat has been ground up it is called meal. A big sieving machine called a boulter gets the bran out of the meal because Victorians didn't like their flour to have bran in it. (They didn't know that it's good for you.)
This is a small mill stone that was made in Pakistan. We used it to grind the wheat so that we could take some back to school. The stone on the top is called the runner stone and the stone on the bottom is called the bed stone.
