All hard stone tools from Geleen Janskamperveld, with the exception of the stone adzes, were studied for the presence of traces ofproduction and wear.The predominant tools were quern fragments, along with some polishing stones and hammer stones.Most of the querns were used for processing cereals.The querns displayed a special biography because after use they were broken and sometimes rubbed with ochre.This, probably ritual, treatment indicates their special significance in LBK society. 13.1
