General Information
Cooking pots and casseroles found at various sites in eastern Lycia were made of this ware. It is a coarse version of the petro-fabric Lycia/diorite and micritic clay (Peloschek et al. 2017 group of LIM-CALC/DIORITE 1). Chemical analyses of vessels from Limyra, Xanthos/Letoon, and Andriake have shown that cooking wares from all of these sites share this petro-fabric, which is also known as “pate lycienne kaolinitique”(Waksman-Lemaître 2010, 781-790, Lemaitre et al. 2013, 193-200), and ST1 (Yener-Marksteiner 2007; Yener-Marksteiner 2009).
The same petro-fabric was used as the base for this cooking ware and East Lycian Roman Tableware.
