Cooking Pot

Cooking pots were used to boil water or cook food. They were deep pots made of earthenware or metal, such as bronze or copper.
The cooking pot could be hung above the fire by a rope, or be placed on stones positioned around the fire. The cooking pot could also be placed at the round opening of a bread oven.
