My apologies if I already replied to this yesterday, but I can't  
remember if I did or not.

I think there is evidence of period use of Dutch oven type pots in  
this file in the FOOD-UTENSILS section:
utensils-msg     (200K)  3/26/05    Utensils, plates, trenchers, cast  
iron pots.

And these files talk about care and where to get them:
iron-pot-care-msg (26K)  3/26/05    Seasoning and caring for iron  
pots and
                                        skillets.
iron-pot-srcs-msg  (8K) 11/20/03    Sources for iron pots.
