A 'frying pan' in an ancient graveSourced
An object that looks like cookware turned up in a Bronze Age tomb.
At Chalandriani on the Greek island of Syros, graves dating roughly to 2700–2200 BCE contained ceramic objects called 'frying pans' by archaeologists. Their actual purpose is unknown; some carry longboat designs.
The kitchen-like name does not solve the mystery.
