From the pictures, diameter of its wheel is around 2,5cm (~1&quot;). While there were such wheels of coin size, most likely, there were also coins at that time. Also, look at their hubs of wheels, its technical geometry is not much different than that of wheel hubs of vehicles today, the only difference is its material, stone, instead of metal. On back of the cart, those symmetrical inciseds like &quot;&lt;&lt;&lt;&quot; are a sign showing that they knew counting &quot;one by one&quot;, they had number. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]685510[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]685511[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]685512[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
