Err......
<baz looks at floor and mutters> "The Bronze Age?"
I.e., the Late Bronze Age, I think (in the British Isles).
Here`s one from Ireland, from c700 B.C. :

It`s an interesting question and I`d like to know the answer.
The burnt mounds in my area (Birmingham) have been dated to between c2000 - 1000 B.C. and I presume that they pre-date the introduction of cauldrons.
When cauldrons were first introduced, wouldn`t they have been a high-status utensil for a considerable time?......I ask myself, but would like to hear other`s thoughts on the matter.
