In ancient Mesopotamia, kitchens were an integral part of daily life. They were typically small and located near the main living area. While pot filler faucets were not used, the Mesopotamians had a practical solution for filling pots with water. They would have a large basin or trough in the kitchen where water could be collected. This basin would be filled manually, and pots could be easily filled by dipping them into the water. This method allowed for efficient water usage and convenience in the kitchen.
