If holes all the way through it is good for the oven--see pizza pans. Even if thinner clay at indents, then baking more even.

I've uploaded a (poor quality - my apologies) photo of one that's on display in the Mycenae museum to Imgur, at http://i.imgur.com/7NvTaex.jpg.

Do we have any sense of the range of contexts from which this type of pot (or perhaps its relatives) might come?
