Not sure if the concept of "settings" would be something they can relate to.

    I was wondering about that too. I think they had adjustable tools in common use, but I could be wrong. They might have also used a different word when changing the depth "setting" of their horse-drawn plow, although "to set" has got to be a pretty old verb.
