Aylesford pan

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Aylesford pan is a casserole-like type of vessel of Italian provenance, which appears in the Central European pre-Roman Iron Age . The vessel type was first described in 1890 in the inventory of the eponymous site of Aylesford , a burial ground excavated by Sir Arthur J. Evans , the urn burial ground of Aylesford in the southern English county of Kent .

It is a bronze pan with a flat bottom and a protruding edge that can be decorated around the base of the handle. The end of the handle can also be decorated figuratively.

These saucepans were made in the first third of the 1st century BC. In the Italic area and were negotiated mainly in the Celtic area. During archaeological excavations, pans of the Aylesford type were found, for example, in the ring wall system on the Dünsberg or in the oppidum of Manching .
