I feel I have heard of lead sheets being used as safety liners for on board cook stoves.

Subject: Lead-sheet of Roman ship ?
Dear all,
At a recent (legal and authorised !!) survey of a Roman ship in the
Mediterranian dating between 100- 200 BC, two very brittle heavilly corroded
(and covered with concretions) lead (?) sheets of about 3mm thickness (and
50x80cm) were found and salvaged. What techniques could be used to learn
more about their purpose, provenance, dating.... If it is indeed Roman lead,
where can I find more information on Roman lead sheets ?
I am looking foreward to your responses.
Best regards,
Peter Seinen
