Sarhöyük/Dorylaion (Dorylaeum) is one of the largest mounds in central Anatolia and boasts a stratigraphical sequence that spans from the Late Chalcolithic period to the end of the 12th century AD. This paper focuses on a particular set of discoveries made at Sarhöyük, namely the Olynthus millstones, or the hopper-rubbers, which are generally considered as an important development stage from basic grinding mills to complex grinding techniques. Most of the millstones discovered were found in the Hellenistic layers, either in situ or in secondary contexts. With the exception of the mill with hand grips, all other samples that can be classified based on a certain typology belong to the Olynthus Mills group with Vertical Holes for Pivot, commonly referred to as Frankel's Type II.4 or Bombardieri's Type IIID.3e. However, it is plausible to suggest subtypes within this group. The aim of this study is to analyse a specific 'eastern type' Olynthus mill and the timeframe of its usage based on archaeological data from Sarhöyük/Dorylaion and its surrounding region.
