Time to have a thread of its own for news in the history of ancient technology. Anything related to this topic can be posted here. Let me start with this:
The exposition Das Goldene Byzanz in Austria features a reconstruction of the 7th century stone saw mill excavated at Ephesos (see here for more background info on this mill type).
The mill site was excavated by the Österreichisches Archäologisches Institut. The main publication is to the best of my knowledge: Mangartz, Fritz (2010): (in German), Die byzantinische Steinsäge von Ephesos. Baubefund, Rekonstruktion, Architekturteile, Monographs of the RGZM, 86, Mainz: Römisch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum, ISBN 978-3-88467-149-8
