    The majority of ceramics here presented are kitchen wares. Usually cooking pots are the most numerous forms in the majority of medieval contexts. They are mostly related to domestic functions, cooking pots being used to boil food or fry it. They come in different sizes and have globular bodies, everted rims and one or two handles. Ceramics from Dundee, Scotland, and Southampton, confirm that one of the most common vessel types employed among 1490-1510 A.D. was the tripod pipkin, with globular body, rounded base, three legs and a single or double handle, like the specimen here visible. These specimens were very often redware pottery imported from the Low Countries.
