re: a spinning wheel,)))

Huh? Do they mean a spindle? Wheels did not come into use until the middle ages.

"Wheels did not come into use until the middle ages." What are you referring to ??

Spun cloth was current at least around 500 BCE. Wheels were in use by 2000 BCE at least over a large portion of EurAsia.
