Or perhaps it was used to drain something. Even if the holes did not go through the "pan" it may have been enough to allow the substance to separate, and facilitated rolling or skimming the top portion off.

My question is...why the name "griddle" are we sure it's not a decorated "tray".....is there indication of use with heat...
I'm curious...we have misnomered items in our collections.
Thanks
Peter

Dear all,

Welcome to the Ancient Food Tech list. In the first day of publicity, we had nearly 200 different people subscribe, which is fantastic! I really look forward to all of us having the opportunity to learn more about ancient foodways from each other.

So, let's start in:
There's a type of cooking pot that we know from many Mycenaean sites, often called a "griddle." 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. Some are quite shallow, like the one in the photo; others have much higher walls wrapping about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way around the circumference.

My question is this: I've heard rumors of similar vessels occurring elsewhere around the Mediterranean. Can anyone share bibliography related to comparable vessels from outside of the modern country of Greece? Do we have any sense of the range of contexts from which this type of pot (or perhaps its relatives) might come?

Thanks much,
Julie
