Description
Summary:The subject of this article is the kitchen and cooking containers from Nagidos. Amongst the cooking wares have been identified as such, there are the kitchen containers including various mortars, of terracotta and of stone, and several other containers including cooking jugs and amphoras, chytrai of various forms, lopades, tagenon, a brazier and lids. Utensils, were recovered from the Ө17, Ө18, Z30, J25, SUR I, SUR II, ЕФ14, Ф15a, Ф16 sectors in different areas of the acropolis of Nagidos. These sectors have provided important criteria in the dating of the kitchen and cooking wares of Nagidos.The earliest remains at Nagidos date from the 2nd half of the 7th century B.C. Archaeological remains indicate that the acropolis of Nagidos was abandoned towards the middle of the 2nd century B.C. In the course of excavations it was understood there has been ceramic production since the Archaic period in Nagidos and ceramic production increased in the Hellenistic period. As a result of this study, the kitchen and cooking containers belonging to the Archaic, Classical and Hellenistic periods have been identified at Nagidos. The clay colour and content shares common features with the city's fine ceramics. Most of the groups of forms are of types familiar from other centres of the ancient world. However, parallels with the form of the mortars could not be found. The data suggest that the kitchen ware and the cooking containers were produced in Nagidos in parallel with the production of Nagidos fine ceramic ware.
