ABSTRACT:
With the introduction of the horizontal-wheel water mill slightly over 400 years ago, rotary motion was used for the first time to grind food in the previously wheelless New World. This simple mill fit well into the subsistence-oriented agriculture of the highlands of Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador whrever wheat and barley became important. Now modernization processes are again changing the milling technology of the Central Andean peasantry, triggering a series of shifts that spell the demise of this ancient device.
