Hi Julie, I've been following the discussion with interest and, as in 
our previous discussion, interested in comparisons with the western Med. 
In Sardinia, where I work. The non perforated griddles are quite common 
in Bronze and Iron Age Nuragic contexts but semi perforated griddles are 
rare, showing up in indigenous sites that seem to have had contact with 
Phoencians and some Phoenician sites too (Nora, S'Urachi etc). However I 
was especially interested in the baking pans with the incisions on the 
outside, as we have found an example here (burnt on inside smooth 
surface, but not on semiperforated side). I understand there are 
examples from N. Africa and Spain also.
The suggestion is that they are an Near Eastern innovation, arriving 
with the Phoenicians, it would be interesting to see Phoenician 
examples, as well as those (if any) from Spain.
Best regards
Jeremy Hayne
