Such a cooking vessel could be an important symbol of social position or wealth...

Oh for the love of.....

It could also be, my granny cooked the best meals in this pot and every time I use it I think about her.

Or "she left the pot to me! Told you I was her favorite."

About fifty fifty.

They must not have had any “green weenies” in their society. Maybe the dinosaurs ate them before they reached adulthood due to their poor survival skills. /s (don’t know why I should need to put a sarc tag, but oh well, better than getting lectured on geologic history.)

These were tribal nomads, so of course it was. Read T.E. Lawrence’s descriptions of the Arab nomads... they had a very similar lifestyle. Ordinary Arab tribesmen would get a portion of grain and oil/butter every day, and catch what wild game they could to supplement it. Only for feasts would the important men of the tribe slaughter livestock and cook them in these kind of vessels.
