Μeals constituted vital components of everyday practice, formed domestic and community spaces, and contributed to the development of social ties by bringing people together in small scale quotidian or large scale feasting activities. In the Greek Neolithic evidence of kitchen spaces outside building structures has recently transformed our taken-for-granted perception of household dynamics unfolding variable spatial and social formations that shows the complexity of prehistoric communities. Selected assemblages of cooking facilities from the Neolithic site of Avgi demonstrate the agents of outdoor cooking spaces and their role to the development of social cohesion revealing various micro-histories of Neolithic lifeways in local and regional scale.
