Keywords: Lesbos; Mytilene; cooking ware; Greek cooking; steam process; late Hellenistic period;
Summary/Abstract: Whereas Lesbian grey wares deserve full attention, Lesbian cooking pots rather remain in the background. The set of kitchen equipment of late Hellenistic -beginning of Roman date from Mytilene excavations presented here includes an item of utmost importance, viz. a fragmentary lidded vessel of chytra type obviously intended for steam cooking of cereals, like the traditional ones used for cuscus making in North Africa .
