This study advances research carried out during the creation of a bibliographic database of ethnological information regarding hand milling systems in the framework of the ERC-Project PLANTCULT Identifying the Food Cultures of Ancient Europe: an interdisciplinary investigation of plant ingredients, culinary transformation and evolution through time led by S.M. Valamoti. The main aims of the database are to collect information linked to the processes of plant grinding with handmills, basically driven with a back and forth motion, in different parts of the world and to connect this information to specific archaeological, textual and experimental data, in particular that associated with food preparation. The database is structured in various sections (basically publications, plants and other foodstuffs, milling processes, products, querns and use and social context), in order to facilitate systematic extraction of all relevant information from a wide range of publications that discuss or report on grinding tools in regions and societies of the recent past. The base records a wide range of activities ranging from tool manufacture to end products that include procurement of raw materials, the preparation sequence of tools (including tool-kits), spatial associations, gender issues, plant ingredients and end products. All aspects recorded in the database are interconnected as are the numerous economic and social relationships of the milling process.

民族研磨数据库：收集和连接全球民族学和民族考古学手磨系统信息的工具

本研究推进了在 ERC 项目 PLANTCULT 框架内创建有关手磨系统的民族学信息书目数据库期间进行的研究，识别古欧洲的饮食文化：对植物成分、烹饪转化和随时间演变的跨学科调查由 SM Valamoti 领导。该数据库的主要目的是收集与手磨机研磨过程相关的信息，该研磨机基本上是由来回运动驱动的，在世界不同地区，并将这些信息与特定的考古、文本和实验数据联系起来，在特别是与食物准备有关的。该数据库由多个部分构成（主要是出版物、植物和其他食品、制粉工艺、产品、querns and use and social context)，以促进从讨论或报告近期地区和社会磨削工具的各种出版物中系统地提取所有相关信息。该基地记录了从工具制造到最终产品的广泛活动，包括原材料采购、工具（包括工具包）的准备顺序、空间关联、性别问题、植物成分和最终产品。数据库中记录的所有方面都相互关联，制粉过程中的众多经济和社会关系也是如此。该基地记录了从工具制造到最终产品的广泛活动，包括原材料采购、工具（包括工具包）的准备顺序、空间关联、性别问题、植物成分和最终产品。数据库中记录的所有方面都相互关联，制粉过程中的众多经济和社会关系也是如此。该基地记录了从工具制造到最终产品的广泛活动，包括原材料采购、工具（包括工具包）的准备顺序、空间关联、性别问题、植物成分和最终产品。数据库中记录的所有方面都相互关联，制粉过程中的众多经济和社会关系也是如此。
